Advanced Practice Provider-Occupational Medicine

Ihc Health Services • West Valley City, UT

257d • $54 - $84

About The Position

This position has been allocated and approved for the hire of a board certified or eligible advanced practice provider. This Advanced Practice Provider will care for patients primarily at our Salt Lake Workmed Clinic with regular rotations at both our Murray and South Jordan locations. In addition, there will be compensated opportunities to travel outside of the Salt Lake Valley to occasionally cover clinics in both Weber and Davis county. As part of our extensive network of specialists, the APP will become experienced in occupational health matters such as workers compensation injury care, ensuring an appropriate continuum of care for the injured worker, and completing employment physicals and testing, such as DOT physicals. Our WorkMed facilities provide walk-in service for industrial injuries that are not immediately life or health threatening. Minor trauma and repetitive strain injuries are examples of types of injuries seen in our clinics. We are the front door for the majority of patients with work-related health concerns, diagnosing and supporting them in getting the appropriate follow up care by referring out to other specialists as needed on a case by case basis. Along with the standard training required in accepting this role, the APP will also be required to become certified with the Department of Transportation within 30 days of their initial start date. Full time, the APP will work regular clinic hours, 4 days per week. No weekends, call, or holiday requirements are associated with this position. Though previous urgent care, emergency medicine, or occupational medicine experience is preferred, new grad APPs should feel encouraged and welcome to apply and will be considered for employment. While we encourage all who are qualified to apply, APPs internal to the organization will be given priority consideration.
