Urgent Care Physician

Emerald Resource Group • White Plains, NY

2d • Onsite

About The Position

People walk in with pain, fever, injury, and a short window to get an answer. This role exists to resolve acute problems the same day—safely, clearly, and without sending work that belongs here to the emergency department. The physician who succeeds keeps the room moving while every disposition is still one they would defend.

Requirements

• MD or DO with an active, unrestricted license in the state of practice and a current DEA registration.
• Board certification or eligibility in family medicine, emergency medicine, or internal medicine, or a comparable record of independent urgent care practice.
• Current ACLS and PALS, or equivalent pediatric resuscitation competency if the site treats children.
• Hands-on record of managing lacerations, musculoskeletal injury, and common infections without on-site specialty backup.
• Reliable same-shift EHR documentation and sound judgment on when to treat, observe, or transfer.
• Ability to obtain required privileges and professional liability coverage for the site.

Responsibilities

• Evaluate and treat the full range of acute, non-emergent illness and injury so most patients leave with a working diagnosis, treatment, and a plan they can follow.
• Complete common procedures—laceration repair, incision and drainage, splinting, foreign-body removal, and point-of-care testing—with few complications and few unplanned returns.
• Separate what can be managed on site from what cannot, transferring time-sensitive conditions without delay and avoiding unnecessary emergency referrals.
• Close the chart the same shift so coding, follow-up, and handoffs are complete and defensible.
• Shorten door-to-disposition time without trading away diagnostic accuracy or patient understanding.
• Align nurses, advanced practice clinicians, and imaging so orders, results, and discharge instructions do not stall.
• Match antibiotics, imaging, and controlled substances to the problem in front of you, not to habit or pressure from the queue.
