Practice Precision, Partner with Purpose — Join as a Surgical Physician Assistant in the Heart of Florida
In every operating room, a unique harmony plays out — a blend of precision, trust, and open communication. As a Surgical Physician Assistant, you're fully aware of the profound impact you have: not only in the operating room but also at the patient's bedside, during follow-up visits, and behind the scenes where genuine healing takes place.
We are in search of a committed and meticulous PA to join our surgical services team in a full-time capacity. Here, you'll collaborate closely with skilled surgeons and compassionate nursing professionals, making sure that each patient's surgical journey is seamless, well-supported, and focused on their overall well-being. Whether you are providing pre-operative education or calmly passing instruments in the midst of a procedure, your contributions each day will create a significant impact in an environment that cherishes your dedication and expertise.
In this role, your responsibilities will include:
- Conducting thorough patient evaluations, including physical examinations and comprehensive medical history reviews.
- Assisting in diagnosing surgical conditions through the analysis of imaging studies and lab results.
- Working closely with surgeons to develop and implement individualized surgical treatment plans.
- Offering intraoperative support, from preparing surgical rooms to ensuring proper positioning and efficiently passing instruments during surgeries.
- Delivering exceptional pre- and post-operative care that encompasses medication administration, wound treatment, discharge planning, and patient education.
To qualify, you should possess:
- A Master’s degree from an accredited Physician Assistant program.
- Experience with clinical rotations that emphasize surgical practice is strongly preferred.
Certifications necessary for this role include:
- Active and unrestricted PA-C certification.
- Current BLS and ACLS certifications.
- State licensure (or eligibility) to practice as a Physician Assistant.
Key skills for success in this position are:
- Strong knowledge of surgical principles and adherence to sterile technique.
- Proven ability to interpret diagnostic tests and contribute to complex clinical decisions.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal abilities.
- Aptitude to flourish in high-pressure situations, particularly in the surgical setting.
- A compassionate bedside manner that respects patients' dignity and autonomy.
What We Offer:
- Attractive salary along with performance incentives.
- Comprehensive health benefits including medical, dental, and vision coverage.
- Generous paid time off and reimbursement for continuing medical education (CME).
- Supportive team culture with access to state-of-the-art resources.
- Opportunities for career progression in a dynamic and expanding healthcare environment.
Your Vital Role in the Surgical Journey
Being a Surgical Physician Assistant encompasses more than mere technical ability; it’s about maintaining calm clarity when unexpected situations arise and instilling confidence in patients when they feel fear overtakes hope. You will take an active role in the operating room while also becoming a supportive presence in hallways, clarifying diagnoses, assisting families, and aiding patients in their path to recovery.
You will collaborate on a variety of procedures, ranging from minimally invasive laparoscopic surgeries to intricate inpatient operations. However, your impact continues even post-operation — in wound assessments, recovery conversations, and long-term care planning. Each contribution you make is valued, and your clinical insights are both respected and relied upon in critical decisions.
This team recognizes your perspective and values the core belief that each successful surgery is achieved through collective effort, built on trust, humility, and unwavering care.

Upon leaving the hospital, you’ll be immersed in a vibrant environment that enhances every aspect of life. Welcome to Tallahassee, where natural beauty meets a rich tapestry of cultural experiences, and outdoor adventures await at every turn.

Who We’re Seeking
We want a Physician Assistant who embraces challenges—someone who performs exceptionally in high-pressure situations and takes pride in diligent preparation. We value listeners who support others before leading and appreciate those who thrive on learning as much as teaching.
Whether you're early in your surgical career or bring years of experience, we prioritize your character over portfolio alone. If you possess a keen intellect, steady hands, and a heartfelt commitment to healing, you will find your home here.
Join Us Where Precision Meets Purpose
This position goes beyond the job. It’s a commitment — to assist individuals in reclaiming their strengths, regaining mobility, and returning to their lives even better than before.
Become part of a team that honors every role, celebrates shared successes, and values each patient as more than just another chart.
