Schedule Details/Additional Information:

If it’s possible, you will find it at Atrium Health Levine Children’s, the largest Children’s health system between Atlanta and Washington, DC. We invite Pediatric Advanced Practice Clinicians to discover all that we can do when we bring healing hearts, inquisitive minds, and progressive visionaries together in our Virtual Services Group as part of our Children’s Primary Care Division.

We are seeking three Pediatric Advanced Practice Clinicians to join our Virtual Practice Support and Extended Care multisite practice. Clinicians are expected to live in the greater Charlotte, NC, area, one of the fastest growing areas in the country.

Position Details

• Virtual Practice Support (VPS) : The APP team will be affiliated with multiple brick and mortar practices, becoming an extension of those clinicians. Providing inbox coverage for clinicians who are out of office, managing refill requests, performing virtual visits and eVisits, and taking care of chronic conditions during the day. The APP team will “support” their affiliated practice colleagues to truly disconnect when they are not in office, maintaining seamless care to patients and families. This practice is staffed by Advanced Practice Clinicians, supported by the physician team. These APPs may also provide in-office visits as coverage for providers out of the office.
• Locations offered : Charlotte Market only.
• Provider Type: Advanced Practice
• Extended Care (EC) : In the evenings and on weekends, APPs will transition to providing shared in-person after-hours care 7 days a week. The team will therefore be able to have a mix of both virtual/remote and direct patient care. The Extended Care location will be open from 5–8pm M-F and 9a–5p on Sat and Sun.

The APP is providing a mix of virtual/remote and in-person care, allowing that clinician to maintain physical exam skills, develop new virtual skills, and enjoy the direct interaction with children and families. This structure offers a unique work-life harmony that is unavailable in traditional office and virtual-only practices.
