About The Position

Hyperbaric Medical Solutions (HMS) is an innovative and integrative free-standing provider of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). HMS is one of the largest independent providers of HBOT in the US, with five offices located in New York, New England, and South Florida. HMS is a progressive medical practice looking for a high-energy, experienced, patient-centric, open-minded Physician Assistant or Nurse Practitioner to join its clinical team under the direction of its board-certified Medical Director and experienced clinical operations team. HBOT is an established, all-natural, treatment modality going through a renaissance. Traditionally HBOT has been used to treat non-healing wounds, radiation tissue damage, failed flaps and skin grafts, crush injuries, and others - patients HMS does serve. However, as a free-standing medical office, HMS has the opportunity to expand the application of HBOT to help many more. HBOT is an emerging area of medicine that is delivering meaningful results to patients every day, and HMS is seeking a professional who is interested in actively developing its use to support healing and wellness.
