Med Star Health Urgent Care is looking for experienced emergency medicine, urgent care, or family medicine physician assistants. Advanced practice providers work autonomously with supportive physician mentorship. Providers are assigned to a region but can set preferences for their top sites (Floating provider).

• Manage acute walk-in urgent cases and minor procedures (e.g., suturing, fracture care/splinting, I&Ds, interpreting EKGs, wet reading X-rays; all films read by a radiologist).
• Utilize on-site, low-complexity lab for point-of-care testing.
• Work with on-site x-ray, and rely on supportive staff.

We are open 12 hours daily and shift lengths may vary.

As part of the Med Star Health System, we offer patients personalized care in community offices, with access to the latest medical advances. Providers have on-site access to pediatric, emergency medicine, and cardiologist teleconsultant providers. Med Star's network of nine emergency departments and broad primary care and subspecialists support continuity of care. Our referral management program assists patients with timely primary care and specialist follow-up.

We are seeking dedicated Weekendist providers (Physician Assistants) to join our MHUC team. The Weekendist role is exclusively for clinicians who commit to weekend shifts (Friday, Saturday, or Sunday). Weekendists complete required clinical hours during these days, with the option to pick up additional hours on other days.

The Weekendist status is determined at the start of the fiscal year and may be reviewed periodically by MHUC medical leadership.

• Employment Type:
  
  Full-Time or Part-Time FTE positions (0.9, 0.75, or 0.5 FTE).
• Scheduling:
  Weekendists provide monthly availability and request specific weekend days off; scheduling is finalized before the broader departmental schedule.
• Shifts:
  
  6–12 weekend shifts per month; on-call shifts may be required with flexibility to indicate availability.

Weekendists receive a competitive pay differential. Specific details discussed during the interview process.

The Med Star Health Urgent Care (MHUC) Advanced Practice Provider (APP) Urgent Care Fellowship is a twenty-six-week (six-month) training program with system-wide orientation for new-to-practice APPs. It provides preparation to care for a complex patient population and to work at the top of the APP scope.

Fully paid malpractice coverage is offered, along with benefits for eligible full and part-time providers, including:

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance options
• Guaranteed competitive salary and bonuses
