Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant

The Opportunity

A community emergency department in the Prime Healthcare Michigan group, running about 36,000 visits a year roughly 1.8 to 2 patients an hour across 32 main beds plus 6 fast track. The department has been through a substantial leadership-driven redevelopment during 2026, which is an unusual thing to be able to say about a community ED. No procedures are required in this role. Detroit metro access, suburban cost of living, and the airport close by.

What Working Here Is Actually Like

Straight Talk

The physician line at this site is currently closed while the APP line is a priority, which tells you something about how the department is staffed right now you will be working closely with a small physician group. Ask us what the current grid looks like, because our own records list two physicians plus one APP and that may have moved.
