Orientation to this role will take place at the Philadelphia campus as well as King of Prussia Hospital. The role will also include off-shift responsibility. The off shift rotation schedule may include days, evenings, nights, weekends and holidays and will be determined by the clinical needs of the practice environment.

Under the supervision of/collaboration with an attending physician, the Advanced Practice Provider is responsible for the direct care of the population of patients that matches his/her scope of practice and skill set.
