Job Summary & Responsibilities
Three employment tracks:
- Combination of Emergency Department and Convenient Care: Primary responsibilities would include providing care at four emergency departments and two urgent/convenient care clinics. Employment would be regional such that shifts would be scheduled in locations that are close together with ability to work at all sites.
- Convenient Care Only: Evaluate and treat a wide range of non-emergent medical conditions, perform minor procedures (including suturing, splinting, incision and drainage), and interpret ancillary tests (labs, urinalysis, x-ray, EKG). Care is provided promptly but thoroughly. Practitioners must be able to treat urgent conditions while knowing how to recognize emergencies to refer to a higher level of care. Practitioners must have prior Emergency Department experience or can transition to this track after working in the combination track.
