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) in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, organizational policies, clinical standards, and operational needs. The physician must physically reside in South Carolina and will be assigned a formal South Carolina Medical Board supervising or collaborating physician relationship, with associated oversight, documentation, clinical review, delegation, and other responsibilities.

The role includes timely consultation during assigned supervision or coverage periods, case review and clinical guidance when physician involvement is needed, and appropriate direction regarding evaluation, treatment, follow-up, or escalation of care. The physician may review and cosign APP documentation, support designated APPs during orientation or enhanced supervision, participate in quality improvement and peer review, and support APP practice within authorized scopes and applicable supervision, collaboration, delegation, and prescriptive authority requirements.

Prisma Health Urgent Care uses a team-based physician coverage model. Depending on operational needs, the physician may provide daily support to APPs at assigned centers and, when needed, surrounding 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.
