Advanced Practice Clinician Fellow in Urgent Care

Job Description

We are offering a 12-month postgraduate program for Physician Assistants and Nurse Practitioners interested in advanced training in Urgent Care with a start date of June 2026.

The HealthPartners Urgent Care Advanced Practice Clinician (APC) Fellowship engages APC learners in extensive training within Urgent Care, as well as required rotations in specialty areas deemed essential for proficiency. Responsibilities include performing histories and physicals, formulating an assessment and plan, and providing necessary treatments and procedures. All work is supervised by an attending physician or APC.

Through lectures, skills training, and simulation, didactic sessions complement the diverse rotations and hands on experiences, offering APC Fellows the opportunity to develop clinical competence and confidence, critical thinking skills, and interprofessional collaboration. This allows APCs to successfully integrate into the specialty of Urgent Care at an accelerated rate compared to on-the-job training.
