Position Summary

NextCare Urgent Care is seeking a part-time Family Medicine or Emergency
Medicine board-certified Physician to join our team in San Antonio, TX.

This role is ideal for a physician who values variety, autonomy, flexibility,
and meaningful community impact while practicing in a fast-paced, well-supported
urgent care environment. 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.

Clinicians at NextCare enjoy true work-life balance, including no after-hours
patient inbox responsibilities, flexible scheduling, and monthly schedules
released in advance.

You will be supported by experienced clinical teams, clear practice guidelines,
strong peer relationships, and accessible medical leadership who provide
real-time guidance and mentorship. The work is engaging and varied, with a broad
patient population and generally low-acuity presentations that keep skills sharp
without the pressure of inpatient follow-up.

Key Responsibilities

* Evaluate, diagnose, and treat patients of all ages in an urgent care setting
* Manage acute illnesses, injuries, and occupational health visits
* Order and interpret diagnostic studies, including labs, x-rays, and EKGs
* Perform urgent care procedures such as suturing, splinting, wound care, and
incision and drainage, as applicable
* Clearly communicate diagnoses, treatment plans, and discharge instructions
* Document patient care accurately and efficiently in the EHR
* Code and bill services appropriately
* Maintain productivity consistent with urgent care benchmarks
* Practice in alignment with NextCare clinical standards and values

Supervising Physician Responsibilities

The physician will be formally assigned to supervise a defined group of APPs.
This includes ongoing responsibility for required supervision agreements, chart
review completion, documentation, evaluations, prescribing oversight, and
collaboration with medical leadership, operations, and credentialing.

This is a structured and compliant supervision model with clearly defined
expectations, protocols, and policies. Professional malpractice insurance is
provided by NextCare.

Supervision responsibilities are ongoing and require steady weekly engagement.
This includes:

* Required supervision agreements
* Chart review completion
* Documentation and evaluations
* Prescribing oversight
* Scheduled chart review blocks
* Regular feedback and coaching
* Periodic performance evaluations
* Compliance documentation
* Collaboration with medical leadership, operations, and credentialing

The physician is expected to be available during normal clinic operating hours
for:

* Clinical questions
* Escalations
* Prescribing questions
* Scope-of-practice guidance

Availability does not mean being on call 24/7. It means reliable, predictable
responsiveness during normal clinic hours. Oversight expectations are clearly
defined and documented.

Physicians are not independently liable for NP practice. PA supervision occurs
within defined scope, protocols, and company policies.

Supervision Stipend

Physicians receive an additional monthly stipend for APP supervision:

* $500 per month for each full-time APP supervised
* $250 per month for each part-time APP supervised

Required Qualifications

* Active, unrestricted Texas medical license for MD or DO
