MedStar 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).

We are looking for providers to manage acute walk-in urgent cases and minor procedures. Procedures include, but are not limited to, suturing, fracture care/splinting, I&Ds, interpreting EKGs, and wet reading X-rays (all films are read by a radiologist). We have an on-site, low-complexity lab for point-of-care testing. Most sites have a full x-ray suite and amazing support staff. We are open 12 hours daily and shift lengths may vary.
---------------------
Weekendist Opportunities:
We are seeking dedicated Weekendist providers (Physician Assistants) to join our MHUC team. The Weekendist role is exclusively for clinicians who commit to working weekend shifts, defined as any shift occurring on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, as scheduled by the department. Weekendists complete their required clinical hours during these days, with the option to pick up additional hours on other days of the week.

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

Position Details

- Employment Type: Full-Time or Part-Time FTE positions (0.9, 0.75, or 0.5 FTE).

- Scheduling: Weekendists benefit from proactive scheduling, allowing them to provide their monthly availability and request specific weekend days off. Scheduling for Weekendists is finalized before the broader departmental schedule is created.

- Shifts: Depending on FTE, Weekendists are expected to work 6-12 weekend shifts per month. On-call shifts may also be required, with flexibility to indicate availability for these.

Compensation

Weekendists receive a competitive pay differential for their role. Specific details about this differential will be discussed during the interview process.
