Pre-Procedural Evaluations Advanced Practice Provider (NP/PA)

Inova • Fairfax, VA

1d • Onsite

About The Position

Inova Health System has an exciting opportunity for either a Nurse Practitioner
or Physician Assistant to work in our Pre-Procedural Evaluation Clinic. The
clinic is a hybrid between a primary care clinic and an emergency department.
Each patient is new and you have to appropriately evaluate them within a short
period of time to ensure they are optimized for their upcoming procedure and
anesthesia. All of our patients are pre-procedure patients who have an upcoming
surgery or procedure requiring anesthesia at Inova. Providers independently
evaluate and manage patients, but there is an attending anesthesiologist
available for consults and questions on site every day in clinic. Due to the
nature of the work, there is extensive coordination of care and communication
with a wide range of providers and departments across Inova. Providers are
responsible for the continued care of patients until the day of their procedure

Inova is consistently ranked a national healthcare leader in safety, quality and
patient experience. We are also proud to be consistently recognized as a top
employer in both the D.C. metro area and the nation.
