Physician Assistant

What you'll actually do here

This isn't a clinic based role where you see the same patients in the same room every day. As an Advanced Practice Provider on our Specialty Care team, you'll move between inpatient and outpatient settings depending on what's needed. You'll work alongside physicians to manage patients across specialties like Cardiology, Gastroenterology, General Surgery, Oncology, Infectious Disease, Plastic Surgery, Pulmonary, Orthopedics, Pediatric Sub Specialty, Adolescent Medicine, Urology, Ear Nose & Throat, Physical Medicine and Rehab ; plus Obstetrics & Gynecology at ARMC and MC (no L&D).

Your days will involve performing physical assessments, digging into medical histories, interpreting diagnostic tests and results. From there you develop treatment plans specific to each patient's needs. You'll conduct preventive health screenings based on age and history. You also educate patients and families about their condition and what follow up looks like. And yes ; it includes performing specialty care medical procedures within your scope of practice in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

• Assess patients through physical exams and medical history review
• Interpret diagnostic test results to guide treatment planning
• Develop and implement individualized treatment plans with other healthcare professionals
• Conduct preventive health screenings tailored to patient age and risk factors
• Educate patients and families about medical conditions, treatment plans, follow up care
• Perform specialty care medical procedures per departmental guidelines
• Maintain accurate records of all patient encounters
• Identify ways to improve clinical and system issues in both inpatient and outpatient care
• Other duties as assigned ; this list isn't airtight
