JOB SUMMARY
The Popup Provider will be the lead clinician at NHS popup clinical events. These are events that are led by NHS staff at locations around the Twin Cities, mostly non-clinical, such as schools or community centers.

NHS will work with the Popup Provider to set a calendar of quarterly events, based on both clinic and provider availability.
Due to the nature of community-based popup clinics, the Popup Provider will be asked to demonstrate flexibility and clear decision-making, leading the NHS team in delivering quality health care. The Popup Provider will refer patients and follow up to NHS clinical providers as needed. They will need to complete training and credentialing with NHS staff prior to providing care.
