This position provides clinical coverage across multiple family medicine locations in the Harrisburg Metropolitan region, helping maintain access to high-quality care during provider vacations, leaves of absence, staffing needs, and periods of increased patient volume.
The ideal candidate is comfortable working with patients across the lifespan, adapting quickly to different practice environments, and partnering effectively with physicians, APPs, nurses, and support staff.
The Advanced Practice Provider follows established nursing standards, procedures, and practices, and gives specific patient care directions to nursing and other staff.

Maintain accurate, timely, and compliant medical documentation. During periods when scheduled patient-care needs are limited, provide inbox management support for other family medicine practices and providers within the organization, including reviewing and appropriately addressing patient portal messages, laboratory and diagnostic results, medication refill requests, and other clinical inbox items within the APP's scope of practice, as well as assisting with results and messages requiring timely clinical follow-up.
Support access, continuity, and operational efficiency across the primary care network through other appropriate clinical and administrative responsibilities as assigned.
