Per Diem Physician Assistant - On-Site Solutions Fort Worth and Plano, TX

MedExpress, part of the Optum family of businesses, is seeking a Per Diem On-Site Solutions Independent Nurse Practitioner or Independent Physician Assistant to join our team in Fort Worth and Plano, TX. Optum is a clinician-led care organization that is changing the way clinicians work and live.

This role is open to cover PTO/sick days of 2 APC’s – one in Fort Worth on Frye Road with a part time M-F 9-1 schedule. The other location in Plano is on Lake Vista Drive and that APC works full-time M-F 8-4. They submit their PTO requests 60 days in advance to give time to work around another schedule that the PRN has. We would not need full weeks of coverage – just as much as could be done during the PTO request.
