Emergency Physicians: High-Acuity Urgent Care Without the Burnout
Sharp Rees-Stealy Medical Group | San Diego, CA
If you enjoy procedures, acuity, and rapid decision-making—but are done with overnights, boarding, and hospital chaos—this is a true ED-to-Urgent Care transition role built for EM physicians.
Why EM Physicians Choose This Role
- High-acuity, procedural urgent care — not fast-track medicine
- Broad emergency-style cases without trauma activations or hospital call
- No overnight shifts. Ever.
- Predictable hours: 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM, 365 days/year
- Flexible scheduling: 6-, 8-, 10-, or 12-hour shifts
- Average 2–2.5 patients/hour with strong clinical support
- Fully resourced sites with on-site lab, radiology, and pharmacy
- Epic EMR across the entire Sharp HealthCare system
Compensation
- $147–$163/hour + wRVU incentives and group bonuses
- Total annual compensation: $285K–$340K+
- Paid malpractice with tail coverage
- Sign-on bonus
- PSLF eligible
Benefits That Actually Matter After the ED
- 200 hours paid vacation annually (first 2 years)
- Paid CME time + CME time/allowance
- 401(k), Profit Sharing, and Money Purchase plans
- 2-year shareholder track (4 years for half-time)
- Full benefits available for half-time and full-time physicians
Who This Is Ideal For
