About The Position

The Physiatry (PM&R) Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant provides specialized physiatry care at 1–3 skilled nursing facilities or similar rehabilitation centers, typically 1–3 days per week at each location.

The clinician provides targeted interventions, including joint injections, Botox treatments, dry needling, and medication management based on patient-specific needs. The role works with a high level of autonomy as the sole physiatry clinician on site, with a collaborative clinical team available for consultation. The clinician also coordinates care and refers patients to other specialties or services when needs fall outside physiatry. After ramp-up, the position has a set patient load with focused consulting visits for 23–25 patients per day.

The role includes hands-on training in facility settings, a flexible five-day workweek and hours, optional weekends, and no nights or on-call shifts. The stated starting compensation is $165,000+ per year in production compensation. The anticipated start date is 4–6 weeks after insurance and Medicare credentialing.
