Urgent Care Physician - Remote APP Supervision

Urgent Care Management or Joint Venture Partner • Aiken, SC

24d • Remote

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). The physician must physically reside in South Carolina and will be assigned a formal South Carolina Medical Board supervising or collaborating physician relationship. The role includes fulfilling applicable oversight, documentation, clinical review, delegation, and related responsibilities in accordance with laws and regulations, Prisma Health Urgent Care policies, clinical standards, and organizational needs.

Physicians provide timely consultation during assigned supervision or coverage periods, including by telephone or other approved communication methods when not physically present at a center. The position also involves reviewing cases that require physician involvement, cosigning documentation when required, supporting designated APPs during orientation or enhanced supervision, and participating in quality improvement and peer review activities.

Prisma Health Urgent Care uses a team-based physician coverage model. Depending on operational needs, the physician may provide daily clinical support to APPs at assigned centers and, when needed, surrounding centers. Daily coverage responsibilities are separate from formal South Carolina Medical Board supervising or collaborating physician assignments and may not correspond directly to the APPs assigned under an individual agreement.
