Job Description

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.

This position primarily requires night shifts from 7 PM to 7 AM. The schedule includes 5-6 shifts per month, providing part-time flexibility while contributing to a supportive ED team environment.
