The Kidney Experts • Jackson, TN

20h

About The Position

The Kidney Experts is hiring a nurse practitioner or physician assistant to provide nephrology care in clinics and dialysis units in West Tennessee. The role focuses on caring for patients with chronic kidney disease, high blood pressure, and related conditions, with the goal of identifying kidney disease early and helping patients preserve kidney function.

New graduates are welcome, and nephrology experience is not required. The practice provides a structured onboarding plan: dedicated preceptor training during weeks 1–4; independent patient care with co-rounding alongside a nephrologist during months 2–3; and an individual patient panel from month 4 onward, with a physician available by phone. Ongoing case conferences and training on the practice's AI tools are also provided.

Clinic visits are supported by a human scribe, and the practice is gradually introducing AI tools to support documentation and preparation for clinic visits and rounds. Providers will receive training and have input into how the internally developed tools work. The practice states that AI is intended to support employees and improve care, not replace staff.

The position is based in Jackson, Tennessee, with clinic days scheduled Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM–4:30 PM. The listed salary range is $70,000–$125,000 per year, based on experience, plus $1,000 per year for continuing education and three paid CME days.
