What are the responsibilities and job description for the Full-Time Nurse Practitioner (NP) or Physician Assistant (PA) – Vein Clinic position at La Jolla Vein Care?
Join San Diego's #1 Vein Clinic
La Jolla Vein & Vascular is expanding and seeking a motivated Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant who is passionate about delivering exceptional, patient-centered care. This is an outstanding opportunity to join one of Southern California's premier outpatient vein centers and become part of a highly collaborative specialized team.
Unlike many specialties, venous disease management offers the opportunity to build meaningful, long-term relationships with patients. Our providers guide patients from their initial consultation through diagnosis, treatment planning, and ongoing follow-up, helping them achieve lasting improvements in vascular health, comfort, and quality of life. Previous vein experience is not required. We welcome providers from surgical, procedural, dermatology, cardiology, vascular, emergency medicine, or primary care backgrounds who are eager to develop expertise in venous and lymphatic medicine. We are committed to training the right candidate.
Our commitment to outstanding patient outcomes is reflected in our consistently high patient satisfaction and hundreds of five-star reviews. As a member of our team, you'll join a practice known for innovation, compassion, and excellence in vascular care.
What You'll Do
Initially, your clinical responsibilities will focus on:
- Conducting new patient consultations and follow-up visits
- Developing individualized treatment plans for venous disease (per established protocols)
- Review venous ultrasound studies (training provided)
- Educate patients about treatment options and post-procedure care
- Performing preoperative evaluations
- Collaborating with our physicians and vascular laboratory team to provide comprehensive outpatient care
- Building long-term relationships with patients throughout their treatment journey
Professional Growth Opportunity
This position is designed to build a strong clinical foundation in outpatient vascular medicine through consultations, diagnostic evaluation, ultrasound interpretation, treatment planning, and perioperative care. As experience, confidence, and practice needs evolve, providers may have the opportunity to gain hands-on procedural training and expand their clinical responsibilities. If you're looking for a specialty practice where you can develop advanced expertise, build lasting patient relationships, and grow alongside a nationally recognized vascular team, we'd love to hear from you.
Schedule
