We are seeking an experienced Nurse Practitioner (NP) or Physician Assistant (PA) to provide patient care approximately one day per week or two half-days per week.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced orthopedic, sports medicine, pain management, or musculoskeletal APP who is looking for a flexible PRN position in addition to their primary clinical role.

We are specifically interested in providers who currently practice in orthopedics/sports medicine or have significant experience performing joint injections.
This is a hands-on clinical role with a small, focused patient volume and a flexible schedule.

Schedule can be discussed based on provider availability and practice needs.
This position is particularly well suited for an experienced NP or PA who currently works elsewhere and is looking for consistent PRN/part-time clinical work without leaving their primary position.

Competitive hourly compensation based on clinical experience, procedural experience, and qualifications.
Additional compensation structure may be considered based on patient volume and procedural responsibilities.
