About The Position

The Clinician 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, organizational performance metrics, and a positive patient experience.

The role requires licensure as a Women’s Health Care Nurse Practitioner, Adult/Family Nurse Practitioner, Certified Nurse Midwife, or Physician Assistant in the state of planned clinical practice. Cross-licensing may be required based on skills and organizational needs in other geographies. BLS certification is required; ACLS may be required at the Clinician Manager’s discretion, depending on services rendered. A related MA/MS degree and at least one year of women’s health care experience are preferred. The position is full-time, nonexempt, and benefits-eligible.
