Gastroenterology Physician Assistant

Emerald Resource Group • White Plains, NY

3d • Onsite

About The Position

Digestive disease care succeeds when patients move from first visit to a clear plan without delay, confusion, or avoidable complications. In this role, you will own that path for a busy gastroenterology practice: evaluate complex GI presentations, advance treatment, and keep procedures, follow-up, and communication tight. Your judgment will determine whether patients get answers sooner and whether the physician team can focus on the cases that need them most.

Requirements

• Graduate of an accredited PA program and current NCCPA certification, with an active state license or eligibility to obtain one before start.
• At least two years of gastroenterology, hepatology, or closely related internal-medicine experience managing GI disease, not observation alone.
• Demonstrated skill interpreting labs, imaging, and pathology and translating them into a plan patients understand.
• Procedure-adjacent competence: consent, bowel-prep counseling, anticoagulation holds, and post-procedure complication recognition.
• DEA registration or ability to obtain it, plus a record of safe prescribing for GI therapies.
• Clear written communication under volume; chart closure within the practice standard is non-negotiable.

Responsibilities

• Complete timely, accurate evaluations of new and returning GI patients so diagnosis and treatment start at the visit, not after a backlog of chart work.
• Manage chronic conditions—including IBD, GERD, liver disease, and functional disorders—so disease control, adherence, and symptom scores improve between visits.
• Prepare patients for endoscopy and other procedures, then close the loop on results, so cancellations, incomplete prep, and missed follow-up decline.
• Escalate red-flag findings and unstable patients promptly, reducing delayed referrals and preventable emergency visits.
• Document and communicate plans that referring clinicians and patients can act on the same day, cutting rework and callback volume.
• Contribute to quality measures—screening completion, polyp surveillance intervals, and medication safety—so the practice meets clinical and payer standards.
