Pediatric Urgent Care Physician

Summary We're committed to bringing passion to the practice of urgent care medicine. PM Pediatric Care is the largest pediatric urgent care network in the country. The company was founded and is still led by PEM physicians with a mission to provide an alternative for children who would otherwise seek emergency care. We are academically driven with >50 practice guidelines, CME-accredited lectures/workshops, a national annual conference, and a fertile base for research and clinical analytics. We have a robust training program for pediatricians with any background, including procedural training, radiology interpretation, and evidence-based approach to illness/injury. PM Pediatric Care is set up like an ED but in a private practice setting with x-ray and lab services on site, great support staff, specialty consultations when necessary (i.e., plastic surgery, orthopedics), and high acuity with a diverse case mix. PM Pediatric Care also enjoys a solid relationship with our communities, maintaining an outstanding reputation with both patients and their primary care providers. There is opportunity for protected time as leaders, educators, and researchers. The work schedule is flexible with no overnights!
