About The Position

Prisma Health Urgent Care is hiring a 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.

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 coverage for assigned centers on certain days, supporting APPs at their assigned center and, when needed, at nearby centers. Daily coverage responsibilities are separate from formal Medical Board supervising or collaborating physician assignments and may not correspond directly to the APPs assigned under an individual agreement.

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.
• Provide clinical guidance and review cases requiring physician involvement, including high-risk complaints, critical findings, abnormal vital signs, ECGs, and other situations requiring physician escalation.

• Review and cosign APP documentation when required by applicable law, credentialing requirements, or organizational policy.
