Prisma Health Urgent Care • Myrtle Beach, SC

18h • Remote

About The Position

Prisma Health Urgent Care is hiring a remote physician to provide clinical oversight, consultation, and support to Advanced Practice Providers (APPs), consistent with applicable laws and regulations, organizational policies, clinical standards, and operational needs. The physician will be formally assigned a South Carolina Medical Board supervising or collaborating physician relationship and will fulfill the associated oversight, documentation, clinical review, delegation, and related responsibilities. This is a fully remote position, but the physician must physically reside in South Carolina.

Prisma Health Urgent Care uses a team-based physician coverage model. Depending on operational needs, the physician may serve as the Supervising Physician for assigned centers on certain days, supporting APPs at those centers and, when needed, at nearby centers. Daily coverage responsibilities are separate from formal Medical Board supervising or collaborating physician assignments and may not correspond to the APPs assigned under an individual agreement.

• Hold current DEA registration.
• Have experience with procedures including suturing and drainage of abscesses.

• Demonstrate effective communication with patients, families, and other employees.
• Have an outstanding bedside manner with children and adults.
• Bring a positive, energetic attitude, a service-oriented and team-oriented approach, and a desire to contribute to building and maintaining the organization.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in Urgent Care, Family Medicine, or Emergency Medicine.
• BLS certification; the employer will provide it if needed.
• Willingness to go the extra mile to create an outstanding patient experience and support and lead the center team.
• Desire to work collaboratively in an upbeat, supportive atmosphere and reinforce the organization’s mission to provide uncompromising service.
• Desire to serve others, improve community health, and have fun at work.

Responsibilities

• Provide timely clinical consultation and support to APPs during assigned supervision or coverage periods, including remotely by telephone or other approved communication methods.
• Provide clinical guidance and review cases requiring physician involvement, including high-risk complaints, critical findings, abnormal vital signs, ECGs, and other situations requiring escalation.
• Provide clinical direction when concerns arise, including recommendations for additional evaluation, treatment, changes to the care plan, follow-up, or escalation to a higher level of care.
• Review and cosign APP documentation when required by law, credentialing requirements, or organizational policy.
• Provide additional clinical support and case review for newly hired, newly credentialed, or otherwise designated APPs during orientation or enhanced supervision periods.
• Participate in quality improvement and peer review activities related to APP practice, provide clinical feedback, and escalate significant quality or patient safety concerns through established processes.
• Support APP practice within the provider’s authorized scope and applicable requirements for physician supervision, collaboration, delegation, and prescriptive authority.
• Provide coverage and consultation to APPs at assigned centers and, when needed, surrounding Prisma Health Urgent Care centers.
