About The Position

The Clinician 1 provides quality, confidential healthcare in compliance with state law, PPGNHAIK medical standards and guidelines, organizational protocols, and current evidence-based standards of care. The position works under the supervision and direction of an assigned Lead Clinician or Clinician Manager and partners with the Health Center Manager to support efficient workflows, quality care, team collaboration, positive patient experiences, and organizational performance goals.

Within the clinician’s state-defined licensure, scope of practice, and privileges, the clinician evaluates, diagnoses, and treats reproductive health concerns, including preventive care, contraception, sexually transmitted infections, pregnancy, gender-affirming hormone care, and common gynecological conditions. Clinicians document care and charges in the electronic health record, follow up on abnormal findings when designated, make referrals or seek consultation when appropriate, and may serve as clinical leaders and resources for health center teams. Clinicians have a designated health center home and may occasionally be assigned to multiple centers. Float Clinicians work at multiple sites as assigned. Clinicians are placed on a clinician ladder according to demonstrated proficiency; level 2 and above may precept and mentor new clinicians and, with approval, external learners. Additional skill-building opportunities depend on demonstrated engagement and organizational business needs and may not be available at every location.
