About us
Pedi-Q Urgent Care is a small business in Northborough, MA. Our goal is to help the many parents that are faced with a difficult choice when it comes to urgent and after hours care for their children. Should they go to the emergency room and wait hours to see a pediatric trained provider or go to a “chain” urgent care facility and take their chances that the provider on call has experience with young children? After hearing the stories of less that satisfied parents, a local pediatrician decided that the time was right to open an urgent care facility that only caters to the pediatric population. .
We are looking for a Physician Assistant or Nurse Practitioner to join our team and provide care to our pediatric patients. The ideal candidate for this position will have a passion for helping others, excellent communication skills, and the ability to work in a fast-paced environment. The PA will play a vital role in providing high-quality and efficient patient care to children in need of urgent medical attention.
Responsibilities:
· Conduct thorough patient assessments, including medical history, physical exams, and diagnostic tests to accurately diagnose and treat a variety of acute pediatric illnesses and injuries.
· Develop and implement appropriate treatment plans, including prescribing medications, providing wound care, administering immunizations, and performing minor medical procedures.
· Collaborate with the interdisciplinary team, including physicians, nurses, and support staff, to ensure comprehensive and coordinated patient care.
· Educate patients and families about medical conditions, treatment options, and preventive measures to promote overall health and wellness.
· Utilize electronic health records (EHR) to document patient encounters, treatment plans, and follow-up care in a timely and accurate manner.
· Maintain up-to-date knowledge of pediatric medical practices, guidelines, and advancements through continuous professional development and attending relevant conferences or workshops.
· Adhere to infection control protocols, safety guidelines, and regulatory standards to ensure a safe and secure healthcare environment.
· Contribute to the positive work culture and team cohesion within the urgent care facility by fostering open communication and collaboration.
