Per Diem Bridge Clinic Provider

Are you a physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant who wants structured, meaningful clinical work without panel ownership or after-hours call? Thundermist Health Center is launching a Bridge Clinic at our Woonsocket location — a temporary initiative designed to provide interim primary. You’ll deliver full-scope primary care during scheduled 30-minute visits, then hand off follow-up items to Thundermist’s cross-coverage team at the end of each shift.

The schedule is fixed at three days per week, four hours per shift. No panel management, no after-hours call, no take-home work — just focused, patient-centered care for a community that needs it right now.

Bridge Clinic Clinical Care

• Provide full-scope primary medical care to Thundermist patients during scheduled Bridge Clinic sessions
• Manage acute care presentations, chronic disease exacerbations, medication management, and preventive care within 30-minute visits
• Perform comprehensive health histories, physical examinations, and diagnostic assessments; order, interpret, and initiate treatment based on labs, imaging, and testing
• Prescribe medications, including controlled substances, within scope of practice and in accordance with state and federal regulations
• Triage patient concerns and elevate to higher levels of care (Convenient Care, ED, or specialty referral) when the Bridge Clinic model isn’t appropriate for the presenting concern
• Provide clear discharge instructions so patients understand next steps and how ongoing care will be managed

Workflow & Handoffs

• Operate within Thundermist’s defined Bridge Clinic workflow, including scheduled 30-minute visit blocks and end-of-day documentation completion
• Route inter-visit follow-up items — test results, patient messaging, refill requests, and referral follow-up — to the cross-coverage queue for the broader clinical team
• Communicate clearly with the cross-coverage team on any results, follow-up needs, or safety concerns from your visits
• Coordinate with the Bridge Clinic support team (nurses, MAs, care managers) to ensure smooth patient flow and safe end-of-shift handoffs

Documentation & Compliance

• Complete clinical documentation in the EHR (eClinicalWorks) accurately and by end of day to support continuity, billing, and quality reporting
• Address care gaps, screenings, and preventive care within Bridge Clinic visits to support HRSA UDS reporting and value-based care performance
• Maintain practice consistent with HRSA, OSHA, HIPAA, CLIA, and applicable state and federal regulations
• Maintain unencumbered Rhode Island licensure, board certification, DEA registration, BLS/ACLS/PALS, and payer enrollment
• Participate in Bridge Clinic peer chart review and quality improvement activities as scheduled

You’re a provider who can walk into a room with a patient you’ve never met, quickly build rapport, deliver thorough care within a 30-minute window, and document cleanly before heading home. You’re comfortable working without continuity and trust the team behind you to carry the follow-up forward.
