A healthcare
facility in Altoona, PA, is seeking a Locums Emergency Medicine Physician
Assistant to join their team. This part-time position requires primarily night
coverage, with shifts running from 7 PM to 7 AM. The role involves covering 5-6
shifts per month and managing a wide variety of emergency department (ED)
patients, focusing on treating lower-acuity cases.
As a Locums Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant, you will be responsible for
providing care to ED patients, with a primary focus on minor complaints and
lower-acuity cases. Your duties will include performing minor procedures such
as incision and drainage (I&D) and laceration repairs. Additionally, you

plans.
