A healthcare
facility in Altoona, PA, is seeking a Locums Emergency Medicine Physician
Assistant to join their team. This part-time position requires primarily night
coverage, with shifts running from 7 PM to 7 AM. The role involves covering 5-6

providing care to ED patients, with a primary focus on minor complaints and
lower-acuity cases. Your duties will include performing minor procedures such
