Overview MedStar Health Urgent Care is looking for experienced emergency medicine, urgent care, or family medicine physician assistants/nurse practitioners. 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).

Responsibilities 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 supportive staff. Open 12 hours daily; shift lengths may vary.

As part of the MedStar Health System, provide patients personalized care in community-based offices, with access to latest medical advances and treatments. On-site access to pediatric, emergency medicine, and cardiologist teleconsultant providers for support. The network includes nine emergency departments and a broad primary care and subspecialist network to ensure continuity of care. Referral management supports quick primary care and specialist follow-up.

Weekendist Opportunities We are seeking dedicated Weekendist providers (Physicians, Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners) to join our MHUC team. Weekendist is for clinicians who commit to weekend shifts (Friday, Saturday, or Sunday) as scheduled by the department. Weekendists complete required clinical hours on weekends, with optional additional hours during other days.

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

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

- Scheduling: Weekendists have proactive scheduling to share monthly availability and request specific weekend days off. Scheduling is finalized before the broader departmental schedule.

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

Compensation Weekendists receive a competitive pay differential. Specific details will be discussed during the interview process.
