Quality and consistency: UPS works exclusively with a consistent, core group of board certified physicians. Each UPS physician is carefully and fully vetted and must share our standards for high quality patient care and productivity. Because of the duration of UPS assignments the majority of providers work full time with UPS and do not have conflicting obligations. Currently, 100% of UPS physicians are ABEM or AOBEM certified, and most of our physicians are primary care physicians that practice emergency medicine exclusively.
