The Opportunity


We are seeking a Full-Time, 40-hour Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant to join our Primary Care team through our Transition to Practice program to prep for future permanent role placement once the Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant has exhibited proper clinical competency and developmental readiness.
