The part-time schedule is structured as a minimum of 4 shifts per month in clinic, with a combination of rotating weekdays and weekends.

In addition to providing direct patient care, this position includes formal supervising physician responsibilities for assigned APPs. The supervision model is structured, compliant, and clearly documented. Physicians are assigned to supervise a defined group of APPs and receive a monthly stipend for each APP supervised.
