Hospitalist Physician Assistant

Emerald Resource Group • White Plains, NY

1d • Onsite

About The Position

Hospital medicine moves fast, and patients do not wait for a perfect handoff. In this role you own the inpatient arc: admit with clarity, manage the course with discipline, and discharge with a plan that holds. Your work shortens length of stay, catches deterioration early, and gives attending physicians and bedside teams a partner they can trust at 2 a.m. as much as at noon.

Requirements

• Graduate of an accredited PA program and current NCCPA certification, with an active state license (or eligibility) and DEA as required for inpatient prescribing.
• Demonstrated inpatient adult medicine experience—hospitalist, internal medicine, or equivalent—managing common medical admissions independently within a collaborative agreement.
• Proven ability to prioritize a full census, document to billing and quality standards, and hand off without gaps.
• Comfort recognizing and escalating critical illness, including sepsis and acute respiratory failure, using hospital protocols.
• Clear communication with physicians, nurses, patients, and families under time pressure.
• Current BLS and ACLS.

Responsibilities

• Admit and manage a defined panel of adult inpatients, completing history, exam, and initial orders within the unit’s target window so care starts before the next shift change.
• Drive daily progress by updating assessments, adjusting therapy, and documenting a clear plan that attending physicians can co-sign without rework.
• Escalate instability early—sepsis, respiratory failure, acute decompensation—using established criteria so critical-care and rapid-response teams are activated before crisis.
• Lead multidisciplinary rounds with nursing, case management, and pharmacy, resolving barriers that delay tests, procedures, or safe discharge.
• Produce discharge summaries and follow-up instructions that reduce bounce-backs, with medication reconciliation complete before the patient leaves the floor.
• Close the loop on results and consults the same day they return, so no critical finding sits unread overnight.
• Coach newer clinicians on hospital workflow and documentation standards, raising team throughput without sacrificing safety.
