About the role

Based primarily at Atrium Cabarrus Medical Center, a Level III trauma center with 40 emergency department beds. The APP would mainly support emergency medicine care at Cabarrus, with some rotation or “flow” to the freestanding emergency departments in Kannapolis and Harrisburg.

Location: Greater Charlotte, NC (Concord, Kannapolis, Harrisburg – Cabarrus County). Staff: 33 full-time physicians and 22 full-time APPs.

At Advocate Health, you are more than a clinician—you're a partner in care and a leader in innovation:

• Clinician-led medical group
• APPs actively engaged in leadership
• Practice at the top of your license
• Structured onboarding and leadership development
• Opportunities for new grads and experienced APPs
• CME flexibility and ongoing professional development
