Our Malpractice Claims: Less Than ½ the National Average
You read that right. At USACS, we have your back. Our medical malpractice insurance provides seamless coverage, and our Litigation Stress Support Team is legendary. We give you the security you deserve as you care for patients.
100% Paid Military Leave
Our 100% paid military leave policy sets the standard in healthcare. When you are acting in service of our country, USACS will keep you and your family whole. We also have a robust support infrastructure for service members pre- and post-deployment.
Paid Parental Leave
Within our practice, family comes first. When an APP in our group is having a child, the rest of us rally around to ensure they receive the financial support and time they need to recover and adjust alongside their growing family. We take care of you like family so you can take care of yours.
"I am so proud to work for a group that exhibits its respect for wellness and family through its paid parental leave policy. The postpartum period is a crucial time of self-healing, as well as bonding and caring for the new life brought into this world. USACS not only understands this, they honor it. That is priceless."

Clinician Advocates
To provide you with enhanced support, we developed our Clinician Advocate department—a unique concierge service dedicated to improving your experience. Our Clinician Advocate team members serve as resource navigators for any incoming requests you have, which allows your focus to remain on patients.
Your Time Matters
At USACS, we are committed to helping you achieve a healthy work-life balance, which is why we created our Time Off Savings Plan. Each year, as a full-time APP, you are offered the opportunity to set aside funds from your pay, allowing you to bank up to 80 hours of time for use in the following year. Make the plans, take the vacation, and enjoy your time however you choose.
Student Loan Refinancing
By refinancing your student loans with us, you could save thousands of dollars in interest payments.
At the Bedside and in Life — We Stick Together
APP Academy: Onboarding & Clinical Training
The USACS APP Academy is a robust onboarding, education, and career pathway plan. It has been designed to provide you with the correct number of mentored shifts based on your experience, risk management training, and other required training within our practice. After the initial onboarding of the APP Academy is complete, the educational program provides APPs CME courses in patient experience, efficiency, high risk medicine, advanced skills training, and EKG training. At the completion of the APP Academy, we recognize you as being USACS certified.
APP Leadership Structure
We are dedicated to preparing you for potential leadership roles within our practice through various development programs, like our APP Academy. Kyle Kirkpatrick, PA-C, MS, is our Executive Vice President, National Director of Advanced Practice, who leads our APP leadership organization and is responsible for the System APP Directors throughout the country. The System APP Directors lead and manage APP Leads at each of our sites. Our leadership structure is designed to work in a dyad with our Physician colleagues, ensuring that APPs have a voice within our practice.
National Clinical Governance Board
As a practice founded by several partner groups from around the country, we understand there is often wide variability in the use and uptake of evidence-based guidelines for patient care. To address this challenge, we introduced our National Clinical Governance Board (NCGB), which is 100% led by and comprised of Clinicians. The NCGB is tasked with all clinical governance issues throughout our practice, including establishing and disseminating evidence-based clinical guidelines, monitoring and assessing clinical outcomes, and developing programs to improve the patient experience.
