About The Position

ERP International is seeking a part-time Nurse Practitioner to support the Family Medicine Clinic at Maxwell AFB, Alabama. The role primarily performs Deployment-Related Health Assessments (DRHAs) and also provides primary care and non-deployment examinations, including Preventive Health Assessments (PHAs), Separation History and Physical Examinations (SHPE), and annual Mental Health Assessments. The practitioner provides care within the scope of training, experience, and privileges granted by the Military Treatment Facility (MTF), and follows Department of Defense, Defense Health Agency, local facility, and other applicable guidelines. The schedule is Monday through Friday, with nine hours between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., including a one-hour lunch. The practitioner may accept overflow appointments when there is no scheduled appointment and doing so does not interfere with Deployment Medicine responsibilities.

ERP International provides health, science, and technology solutions to government and commercial clients. The posting describes compensation and benefits including paid vacation, paid sick time, 11 paid federal holidays, medical, dental and vision coverage, short- and long-term disability and life insurance, a health savings account, an annual CME stipend, license and certification reimbursement, and a matching 401(k).
