About The Position
Join Hartford Hospital’s growing, 100% inpatient vascular surgery team as an Acute Care Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant.

The team supports professional growth through a structured four-month onboarding and orientation program, dedicated mentorship and preceptorship, simulation training, and daily educational opportunities.
