Position Summary
The Nurse Practitioner (NP) or Physician Assistant-Certified (PA-C) provides comprehensive, patient-centered care in an interventional pain management setting.
You’ll work closely with pain management physicians and clinical staff to evaluate patients, develop treatment plans, provide education, and coordinate care. We’re looking for someone with strong clinical fundamentals who is motivated to learn, receptive to feedback, and interested in developing expertise within the specialty.
What You’ll Do
- Perform detailed patient evaluations, including medical histories, physical examinations, and functional assessments
- Evaluate and manage patients in accordance with established pain management protocols
- Develop, implement, and monitor individualized treatment plans in collaboration with the physician team and consistent with scope of practice and established clinical protocols
- Order, review, and interpret diagnostic imaging, laboratory tests, and other relevant studies
