About The Position

As an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) or Physician Assistant (PA), the APRN or PA will be based in the Primary Care Clinic at the Pat Walker Health Center serving a diverse population of students, faculty and staff of the University of Arkansas. Duties include diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic health issues. Other duties include education and instruction in health matters for individual patients including preventative care/screening. The APRN or PA will collaborate with medical, nursing, lab and x-ray staff. Other responsibilities will include participation in quality improvement processes and professional development. The APRN or PA will collaborate with a PWHC Staff Physician also working in the Primary Care Clinic and will follow all prescription protocols, privileging guidelines, and per their Arkansas State medical licensing board rules. This position is designated as a remote essential role and requires availability during campus closures or emergencies. In such events, a dedicated team of medical professionals will be on standby to provide care through telehealth services, if deemed appropriate.

All staff are required to take their UA-issued laptops home nightly during the work week and each weekend to ensure continuity of care and access to telehealth services during unexpected closures.
