Protecting Our Specialties
Safeguarding the Futures of Physicians
Practicing medicine today brings increasing complexity, pressure, and responsibility. As Physicians, we are inherently driven to provide the best possible care to the patients and communities we serve, yet there are responsibilities and requirements intertwined within our daily practice that force our attention away from the bedside.
At US Acute Care Solutions (USACS), a practice dedicated to Physicians, we alleviate the outside stress and place you at the top of our priorities. Our goal is to relieve you of the taxing, non-clinical demands that take time and energy away from what truly brought you to pursuing a career in medicine—caring for patients.
When you join our practice, you can expect to experience unmatched support and services that mirror our commitment to your success. No matter what you’re looking for in a career, we have you covered. Our clinical settings span from Level I Trauma Centers in the heart of major metropolises to rural community hospitals.

Every box is checked to ensure your decision to join us is met with confidence.

The Perks
Paid Parental Leave - Your Family Is Our Family
Within our practice, family comes first. We are committed to making USACS the employer of choice for both you and your family. Our paid parental leave policy is just one of the many industry-leading policies we’ve implemented to earn that title. When a Physician 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. The policy is among the most generous not just in acute care, but in all of healthcare. It applies to all new parents, including birth mothers as well as fathers, partners, spouses, adoptive, or surrogate parents. 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."

beyond the walls of the hospital.
An Enduring Physician Support System
We believe our differences make us stronger and gathering people with unique experiences and backgrounds around the table leads to better decision making. We value diversity of age, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, family status, and life experiences. Our Employee Resource Groups celebrate the diversity of our Physicians, APPs, and MSO colleagues, providing the opportunity to gather as one to drive engagement and promote community outreach.
Advocacy in Action
The decisions made on Capitol Hill have a significant impact on healthcare policies which set the standards across all medical specialties. At USACS, we don’t just sit back and observe, we take a front-row seat to raise our concerns and provide invaluable insights. Our Political Action Committee (PAC) works diligently to address ongoing concerns like boarding solutions, patient safety, and fair reimbursement, ensuring your voice is heard. Together, we speak louder.
Student Loan Counseling Services
USACS has partnered with Navigate, a company specializing in student debt repayment for Physicians. Navigate assigns you an expert student loan guide to work with, tailoring conversations to address your specific needs. From income-driven repayment plans to private refinancing or identifying loan servicing company errors, Navigate ensures you can confidently tackle the complex world of student loan repayment.
A Second Opinion. One Call Away. 24/7/365
At USACS, you are never alone in managing a potentially risky situation. The USACS FailSafe program provides you with 24/7 phone access to experienced senior Physicians, ready and willing to offer advice anytime it’s needed. This hotline receives at least 1,000 phone calls each year, giving those making life-or-death decisions the wisdom and confidence to move forward.
Clinical Management Tools (CMTs)
We equip you with enhanced decision support at your immediate disposal. USACS CMTs distill current medical literature into one-page flow diagrams for high-risk scenarios. They are modeled after open-source scoring systems and provide a method of conducting a detailed history and physical exam. CMTs are used by our Clinicians at least 100,000 times annually, offering evidence-based pathways to act decisively.
Supporting Your Financial Wellness
USACS has partnered with SageView Advisory Group, a company that delivers unbiased financial coaching services. Through a one-on-one coaching session with a dedicated financial coach/wealth advisor, SageView addresses key financial wellness factors such as managing expenses and debt, investment portfolio allocation, 401(k) contribution analysis, and more, to lead you on the path to financial empowerment.
100% Paid Military Leave - Serving Those Who Serve Our Country
USACS proudly supports the Reserve and National Guard military with a 100% paid military leave policy that sets the standard in healthcare. When you are acting in service of our country, we will keep you and your family whole. We also provide a robust support infrastructure for service members pre- and post-deployment.
Guiding You To Financial Freedom
On average, medical students leave school with over $230,000 in loans. Being a Physician-centric group, we understand the pressures of loan repayment and are committed to helping you reduce that debt down to zero as cheaply as possible. We’ve partnered with our preferred bank to offer best-in-class student loan refinancing*. By refinancing your student loans with us, you could save at least $100,000 in interest payments. Regardless of how much is refinanced, you also have the option to pay as little as $100/month for the remainder of residency and for six months after.
Empowering You to Build a Fulfilling Career
Leadership & Clinical Training
At USACS, we believe education is empowerment. Staying up to date on the latest in medicine keeps you at the top of your game, and we’re here to ensure you have the resources you need to make that possible. With year-round access to the best clinical education offerings and a practice-funded CME account, USACS is committed to investing in your career development and success.
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. Their services include hosting a one-on-one onboarding session as you prepare for your first shift, deploying personalized touchpoints throughout the year, and responding to your inbound inquiries within 24 hours.
Helping Your Career Grow
We want to see you enhance your practice and meet Continuing Medical Education requirements with ease. To achieve this, we created the Center for Emergency Medical Education (CEME), a standalone organization offering you courses to enroll in throughout the year. These courses include The Heart Course, High Risk Emergency Medicine, Observation Care Conference, Emergency and Critical Care Skills Lab, and many more.
Connecting with Colleagues Nationwide
Held in a new city each year, our annual USACS Assembly is open to every Clinician in our group. This multi-day event is critical for uniting our group around best practices and ensuring common vision and goals. The schedule includes leadership meetings, updates on the business side of medicine, and our progress as a group, as well as clinical education from our outstanding educators. Assembly also presents the opportunity to interact with leadership and provide site-specific feedback on how we can improve collectively. Attending this much anticipated event each year is the perfect way to socialize with colleagues and see up close the fabric of our legendary culture.
"The annual USACS Assembly provides the perfect opportunity to both contribute feedback on what’s working and to ensure best practices for the entire group get filtered throughout our sites and regions."

Developing Our Future Leaders
Thinking about taking your career to the next level We’re here to help set you up for long-term success in every role you pursue. The USACS Scholars Program is a one-year course designed to equip and empower our future leaders. Participants will enjoy unparalleled access to all the engaged and vibrant teams that build USACS. The curriculum covers a broad range of medical management topics dealing with personal introspection, team building, conflict resolution, and leadership skills. Over 70% of graduates have served as a Site Medical Director and over 90% have served in an administrative role at USACS.
National Clinical Governance Board:
Supporting Our Physician-Led, Evidence-Based Medicine Practices
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. In some cases, two patients, each with the same complaints and risk factors, may receive completely different treatments depending on which hospital they walk into. That’s why we created the National Clinical Governance Board (NCGB), which is 100% led by and comprised of Clinicians. The NCGB is tasked with all clinical governance issues throughout the practice, including establishing and disseminating evidence-based clinical guidelines, monitoring and assessing clinical outcomes, and developing programs to improve the patient experience. Together, we can have a national impact on improving the quality of care.
Improving Your Clinical Efficiency
The USACS Efficiency Academy aims to enhance your efficiency skill set. The course focuses on improving your clinical workflow, helping you learn to run your department—instead of letting your department run you. The goal of the Academy is to show you how to work smarter, not harder. The course also reviews strategies to carve out time during your shift to document and perform procedures. Results of the course show sustained increases in productivity and shift satisfaction.
