About The Position

As a Prisma Health Urgent Care Remote Supervising Physician, you will provide clinical oversight, consultation, and support to Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, Prisma Health Urgent Care policies and procedures, established clinical standards, and organizational needs. The physician will be assigned a formal South Carolina Medical Board supervising or collaborating physician relationship and will be responsible for fulfilling all applicable oversight, documentation, clinical review, delegation, and related responsibilities associated with that assignment. This is a fully remote position; however, the physician must physically reside in the state of South Carolina. Prisma Health Urgent Care utilizes a team-based physician coverage model. Depending on operational needs, you may serve as the Supervising Physician for your assigned centers on certain days. In this capacity, you will provide clinical consultation and support to APPs within your center and, when needed, to APPs practicing at surrounding Prisma Health Urgent Care centers. Daily physician coverage and support responsibilities are separate from formal South Carolina Medical Board supervising or collaborating physician assignments and may or may not correspond directly with the APPs assigned to you under an individual supervising or collaborating physician agreement.
