Physician Assistant – Structured Medical Evaluations | Full-Time, No Treatment Required
About the Opportunity:
Ready for a different kind of PA practice? Join The IMA Group in Philadelphia, PA, performing structured, evaluation-based exams that support disability determinations. This role is entirely assessment-focused — there's no diagnosing, prescribing, or ongoing patient follow-up to manage.
Responsibilities:
- Perform targeted physical examinations and review patient medical histories
- Record objective clinical findings through a streamlined digital reporting system
- Prepare accurate, well-documented reports to support disability case reviews
This Role Does NOT Include:
- Creating or managing treatment plans
- Prescribing medications
- Long-term patient management or follow-up visits
- On-call duties of any kind
What Makes This Position Different:
This is a full-time opportunity, Monday through Friday, offering dependable hours and a steady, manageable caseload. A dedicated support staff handles much of the administrative load, so you can stay focused on the exams themselves.

Ideal Candidate:
- Active Physician Assistant license in Pennsylvania
- Solid clinical assessment and documentation abilities
- Prior experience in family medicine, internal medicine, emergency medicine, orthopedics, PM&R, or a similar specialty is a plus
