WellStreet Urgent Care • Aiken, SC

About The Position

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

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 and support APPs at those centers or, when needed, nearby centers. Daily coverage responsibilities are separate from formal Medical Board supervising or collaborating physician assignments and may not correspond to the APPs assigned through an individual agreement.

• Be board certified or board eligible and licensed to practice medicine in South Carolina.
• Hold current DEA registration.
• Have experience with procedures including suturing and drainage of abscesses.

• Demonstrate the ability to communicate effectively with patients, families, and other employees.
• Demonstrate an outstanding bedside manner with children and adults.
• Have a positive, energetic attitude that inspires other team members.
• Show a sense of service and team orientation, without hubris.
• Be willing 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 while reinforcing the organization’s mission to provide uncompromising service.
• Have a compelling desire to serve others and improve community health.

Nice To Haves

Responsibilities

• Provide timely clinical consultation and support to APPs during assigned supervision or coverage periods, including by telephone or other approved communication methods when not physically present at a center.
• Guide and review cases requiring physician involvement, including high-risk complaints, critical findings, abnormal vital signs, ECGs, and other situations requiring physician escalation.
• Provide clinical direction and recommendations for additional evaluation, treatment, changes to the plan of care, 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 applicable quality improvement and peer review activities related to APP practice, provide clinical feedback, and escalate significant quality or patient safety concerns through established processes.
