About The Position

This is a clinical position designed for an NP or PA who wants to practice at the top of their training in a supportive, collaborative environment. You will be integrated into the physician’s practice — not functioning independently without support. The role offers direct mentorship, working closely with a fellowship-trained geriatrician who enjoys teaching and case discussion, providing active collaboration, real-time feedback, and meaningful clinical development. It features a true continuity model, allowing you to see patients in clinic, assisted/independent living, skilled nursing, and after hospital discharge, offering rare exposure to the full arc of geriatric care. The position involves complex medicine, managing polypharmacy, frailty syndromes, dementia care, high-utilizer patients, advanced care planning, and chronic disease optimization. For those interested, a long-term leadership trajectory may include involvement in clinic management, clinical operations strategy, program expansion, and interdisciplinary team development, fostering growth as a clinician and clinical leader in geriatric care. This role matters because our aging population deserves clinicians who understand the complexity of late-life medicine, offering the opportunity to build deep relationships with patients and practice thoughtful, high-quality geriatric care in a supportive environment.
