About The Position

Prisma Health Urgent Care is hiring a remote physician to provide clinical oversight, consultation, and support to Advanced Practice Providers (APPs). The physician will follow applicable laws and regulations, Prisma Health Urgent Care policies and procedures, established clinical standards, and organizational needs. The role includes a formal South Carolina Medical Board supervising or collaborating physician assignment, with 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 provide support to APPs at assigned centers and, when needed, at nearby Prisma Health Urgent Care centers. Daily coverage responsibilities are separate from formal supervising or collaborating physician assignments and may not correspond directly to the APPs assigned under an individual agreement.
