Overview

Every surgical suite has its own unique rhythm, a blend of precision, trust, and resonating communication. As a Physician Assistant specializing in surgery, you understand the vital significance of your role : it's not limited to the operating room, but also extends to the bedside, during postoperative follow-ups, and in those quiet moments where true healing takes shape.

We are seeking a devoted, detail-oriented PA to bolster our surgical services in a full-time capacity. In this role, you will collaborate closely with skilled surgeons and compassionate nursing staff, ensuring each patient's surgical journey is smooth, well-supported, and integrated with their overall health and well-being. Whether you're leading a patient through pre-operative education or proficiently assisting in the operating room, your daily contributions will significantly impact lives, all while being part of an environment that respects and values your expertise and drive.

  • Assist in assessing and diagnosing surgical conditions through reviewing imaging reports and lab findings.
  • Work side-by-side with surgeons to develop and implement patient-specific surgical management plans.
  • Provide comprehensive intraoperative support, including operating room preparation, safe patient positioning, and the seamless passing of surgical instruments.
  • Deliver high-quality pre- and post-operative care, encompassing medication administration, wound management, discharge planning, and patient education.

Qualifications

  • A Master's degree from an accredited Physician Assistant program.
  • Clinical rotations with a strong emphasis on surgery are highly preferred.
  • Licensure and Certifications

  • BLS and ACLS certifications are mandatory.
  • State licensure (or eligibility) as a Physician Assistant.
  • Skills Required

  • Comprehensive understanding of surgical principles and adherence to sterile techniques.
  • Demonstrated capability to interpret diagnostic results and influence critical clinical decisions.
  • Outstanding communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Able to function effectively under pressure, especially during surgical procedures.
  • Empathetic approach to patient care, with an unwavering respect for their dignity and autonomy.
  • Compensation and Benefits

  • Competitive salary complemented by performance-based incentives.
  • A complete range of health benefits (medical, dental, vision).
  • Generous paid leave and continuing medical education reimbursement.
  • A collaborative team atmosphere with access to state-of-the-art equipment and resources.
  • Paving the way for career advancement in a progressive healthcare environment.
  • Your Role in the Surgical Experience

    Being a Surgical Physician Assistant transcends mere technical expertise - it involves a calm presence in the face of unexpected challenges, providing assurance at times when a patient's worries overshadow their hopes. You'll be actively involved in the OR while also being a comforting guide in the corridors, articulating diagnoses, guiding families through uncertainty, and supporting patients to navigate their recovery journey.

    Your involvement spans everything from minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures to intricate inpatient surgeries. Yet, your impact extends beyond the OR - through post-operative wound evaluations, recovery talks, and projecting long-term health strategies. Every perspective you offer is appreciated. Your clinical insight is valued, and your voice holds weight in decision-making processes, big and small.

    This team sincerely values every individual's viewpoint and truly learns that every successful surgery derives from collective effort - grounded in trust, humility, and a steadfast commitment to care.
