Job Summary
We are seeking a motivated and highly organized full time preferred or part time Physician Assistant/Nurse Practitioner to join our growing medical practice. This position is ideal for a self-starter who takes ownership of patient care, follows through reliably, and is interested in becoming a meaningful part of the practice—not simply seeing patients and completing shifts. In addition to providing high-quality primary care, the Provider will have opportunities to participate in several office-based clinical programs. These programs are designed to improve patient outcomes while rewarding productivity, initiative, quality, and engagement. The ideal candidate is hardworking, dependable, efficient, and comfortable managing responsibilities independently while collaborating closely with physicians and staff. Excellent bedside manner, strong clinical judgment, timely documentation, and consistent follow-through are essential.

- Order, review, and interpret laboratory testing, imaging, and other diagnostic studies
- Clearly explain diagnoses, test results, treatment recommendations, and expected outcomes to patients
- Prescribe medications and therapies in collaboration with the supervising physician
- Complete accurate and timely documentation, including closing charts and addressing follow-up items
- Coordinate care with physicians, nurses, medical assistants, specialists, and other members of the healthcare team
- Participate in the practice’s clinical and patient-care programs, including preventive care, chronic disease management, care coordination, and quality-improvement initiatives
- Proactively identify opportunities to improve patient care, office efficiency, and clinical workflows
- Maintain strong organization and follow-through on results, referrals, messages, and patient care needs
- Contribute to a positive, accountable, and team-oriented practice culture
Qualifications
- Current and unrestricted Physician Assistant/ Nurse Practitioner license in the state of practice
- Graduate of an accredited Physician Assistant/ Nurse Practitioner program
- Fluency in different language is a plus (Spanish or Russian preferred)
- Excellent clinical judgment, critical-thinking, and problem-solving skills
- Strong organizational and time-management abilities
- Ability to work independently, take initiative, and manage competing priorities
- Excellent communication, interpersonal, and bedside manner
- Experience with medical terminology, electronic medical records, clinical documentation, and diagnostic testing
- Dependable, hardworking, and committed to high-quality patient care
- Interest in professional growth and becoming a long-term part of the practice
- Primary care or internal medicine experience preferred, but qualified and motivated candidates will be considered
Compensation & Efficiency Bonus Structure
Competitive base compensation with additional performance-based bonuses designed to reward productivity, efficiency, quality, and meaningful participation in the practice.
The bonus structure may consider:
- Maintaining an appropriate patient volume while preserving high-quality care
- Completing documentation accurately and within required timeframes
- Reviewing and addressing laboratory results, imaging, messages, and assigned tasks promptly
- Minimizing unnecessary delays, incomplete charts, and outstanding work queues
- Maintaining efficient patient flow and reasonable visit times
- Participating in eligible clinical programs, including preventive care, chronic care management, remote patient monitoring, and quality initiatives
- Meeting established quality, patient-satisfaction, attendance, and compliance standards
- Helping improve office workflows and supporting the overall success of the practice
Efficiency bonuses are not based solely on the number of patients seen. Eligibility requires accurate documentation, appropriate medical decision-making, strong patient care, reliable follow-through, and compliance with practice policies. Specific performance targets and bonus amounts will be reviewed with the candidate and may increase as the provider’s responsibilities and contribution to the practice grow.
