• Support appropriate referral or escalation to a physician or other healthcare professional when clinically indicated.
• Participate in Icon Health’s APP competency and qualification evaluation process, including peer review activities based on the applicable standard of care.
• Collaborate with Icon Health to ensure APPs have the qualifications, training, and experience necessary to perform authorized medical services, procedures, and medication/date ordering or furnishing activities.
• Review and approve the Practice Agreement on a regular basis and support updates when warranted by changes in conditions, circumstances, regulations, or clinical operations.
• Sign required collaboration, credentialing, and regulatory documentation in a timely manner.

The ideal candidate will be:

• Fellowship trained in Sports Medicine.
• Actively licensed and in good standing in Mississippi.
• Physically located and practicing in the state of Mississippi.
• Comfortable serving in a collaborative physician capacity for APPs.
