Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant

Emerald Resource Group • White Plains, NY

About The Position

Patients arrive without a chart, a plan, or time to spare. This role exists to turn that uncertainty into a clear diagnosis, a safe disposition, and a faster path through a crowded emergency department. You will practice at the front line of acute care, where judgment, procedures, and calm communication change outcomes in a single shift.

Requirements

• Graduate of an accredited physician assistant program and current NCCPA certification.
• Active state PA license, or eligibility to obtain one before start, with DEA registration as required for the practice.
• Emergency medicine, urgent care, or acute-care experience with independent management of unstable patients under physician supervision.
• Demonstrated procedural skill appropriate to emergency practice and willingness to maintain credentialing.
• Current BLS and ACLS; PALS or ATLS preferred when the department serves pediatric or trauma patients.
• Clear written and verbal communication under time pressure, including accurate EHR documentation.

Responsibilities

• Perform indicated procedures, including laceration repair, incision and drainage, splinting, and other ED interventions, with documented competence and low complication rates.
• Order and interpret diagnostic studies in context, escalate critical findings immediately, and close the loop with the attending physician.
• Reduce avoidable delays by coordinating nursing, consultants, and ancillary services so admitted and discharged patients move without unnecessary holds.
• Document encounters that support clinical decisions, coding integrity, and continuity for the next clinician.
• Counsel patients and families on diagnosis, risk, and next steps so discharge instructions are understood and followed.
