• Clinical Impact:
  Whether you’re managing complex cases at our main campus (80k annual visits) or providing high-quality care at our suburban Urgent Cares, you are the front line of pediatric health.

• Pediatric Specialists: NPs or PAs with a heart for kids and a drive for clinical excellence.
• Procedural Pros:
  Comfort with suturing, staples, dermal adhesives, and foreign body removals.
• Collaborators:
  Professionals who value rapport with families and seamless teamwork with our world-class medical staff.

The Logistics:

• Urgent Care:
  Weeknights (5p–Midnight) and Weekends (10a–8p).
• ED:
  Rotating shifts (Days/Evenings/Overnights) for maximum variety.
