About the role:The Emergency Medicine Physician in New York delivers urgent care to pediatric and adult members, roughly half in the Institute and half in members' homes. Alongside direct care, you carry clinical oversight for the urgent care advanced care providers and Home Services nurses who deliver the majority of home visit volume. You triage incoming urgent requests, direct the care plan, and take the visit yourself when acuity or scope calls for physician-level care.
You work closely with members' Chief Medical Officers and their care pods, and with specialists across internal medicine, cardiology, neurology, pediatrics, geriatrics, women's health, endocrinology, pulmonology, and performance and movement.
Job dutiesDirect clinical care:- Evaluate and treat urgent concerns across the age spectrum in the Institute and in members' homes, from minor illness through undifferentiated high-acuity presentations.

- Document in Athena during the shift, and sign out active issues at the end of each shift.
Clinical oversight and coordination:- Supervise, triage, and direct the care delivered by urgent care advanced care providers and Home Services nurses, including determining which visits require a physician.
- Partner with CMO teams to plan urgent evaluations, and close the loop on results, after-care instructions, and follow-up.
- Monitor Slack channels during shifts to confirm that visits are triaged, staffed, and scheduled with an appropriate arrival window and travel time.
- Coordinate with care coordination, nursing, medical assistants, laboratory, and hospitality teams so that a member's experience holds together across settings.
Department contribution:- Lead and contribute to quality improvement work within urgent care and Home Services, including protocol development, Guru documentation, and review of clinical outcomes.
- Support departmental operations, including input on staffing models, scheduling, supply and medication inventory, and equipment readiness across the sites you cover.
- Teach and precept the clinical support staff on the team, including advanced care providers, nurses, and medical assistants, through skills practice, case review, and new hire orientation.
- Participate in research and collaborate with the Atria Academy of Science & Medicine, including study design, data collection in the urgent care and home setting, and translating Academy expertise into bedside practice.
- Participate in EM faculty meetings and in clinical policy work as relevant.
