Physician Assistant Jobs

About The Position

Requirements

• Graduate of an accredited PA program and current NCCPA certification.
• Active state PA license and prescriptive authority, including DEA registration where required for the practice.
• Demonstrated experience managing older adults with multimorbidity, cognitive impairment, or post-acute needs.
• Skill in geriatric assessment, medication review, and goals-of-care discussions—not only disease-by-disease treatment.
• Ability to prioritize, document clearly, and coordinate across disciplines without losing clinical ownership.
• Comfort practicing with supervised autonomy and knowing when to escalate.

Responsibilities

• Complete comprehensive geriatric assessments and deliver care plans that address medical, functional, cognitive, and social risks within the first visits.
• Manage multimorbidity and polypharmacy so each regimen is simpler, safer, and aligned with the patient’s goals—including timely deprescribing.
• Reduce preventable acute utilization by catching decompensation early and coordinating swift follow-up after ED or hospital events.
• Lead goals-of-care and advance-care-planning conversations that produce documented decisions families and the care team can follow.
• Close high-risk gaps—falls, delirium, dementia progression, nutrition, and caregiver strain—with measurable follow-through.
• Direct an interdisciplinary plan with nursing, pharmacy, therapy, and social work so handoffs are clear and nothing critical is dropped.
• Document to a standard that supports quality review, billing integrity, and continuity for every clinician who sees the patient next.
