Beyond the sterile environment of the OR, your influence echoes at the patient's bedside, during invaluable follow-ups, and in the quiet moments where healing takes root.

 

We are seeking a dedicated, meticulous PA with a passion for surgical care to join our team in a full-time position. Here, you’ll collaborate closely with accomplished surgeons and empathetic nursing staff, ensuring each patient's surgical journey is fluid, supported, and rooted in their overall well-being. Whether preparing a patient for surgery or confidently assisting mid-procedure, your impact will manifest in tangible ways each and every day in an environment that truly honors your skills and dedication.

  • Assist in diagnosing surgical conditions by interpreting imaging and lab results
  • Work intricately with surgeons to develop and implement patient-centered surgical plans
  • Provide in-the-moment support during surgeries, including pre-operative room preparations and managing surgical instruments
  • Deliver exceptional care pre-and post-operation, encompassing medication administration, wound management, discharge strategies, and patient education

 

Required Education

  • Master's degree from an accredited Physician Assistant program
  • Clinical rotations emphasizing surgical practice are strongly preferred

 

Certifications Needed

  • Current and unrestricted PA-C certification
  • Mandatory BLS and ACLS certifications
  • State licensure (or pending eligibility) as a Physician Assistant

  • Comprehensive knowledge of surgical protocols and sterile techniques
  • Ability to interpret diagnostic tests and engage in complex clinical decision-making
  • Outstanding communication and interpersonal proficiency
  • Ability to function effectively under pressure, especially during surgical operations
  • Respectful bedside manner coupled with a deep appreciation for patient dignity and independence

 

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary along with performance-based incentives
  • Comprehensive health benefits (medical, dental, vision)
  • Generous time-off provision and continuing medical education reimbursement
  • Access to cutting-edge technology with a supportive team atmosphere
  • Opportunities for career growth in a dynamic healthcare environment

 

Charting the Course of Surgical Care

 

As a Surgical Physician Assistant, your contributions extend beyond technical expertise — it is about providing calm assurance in the midst of uncertainty and placing the patient's needs at the forefront. You'll engage actively in the OR while also being the steady communicator who comforts families and explains treatment steps clearly.

 

You’ll be involved in a range of procedures, from minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques to intricate complex surgeries. Your role will transcend the OR, where post-operative follow-ups include discussions about recovery and long-term care planning. Your insights are valued. Your clinical input is trusted. Your voice matters in both the little and larger conversations.

 

This is a cohesive team that appreciates your perspective and recognizes that successful surgery is a collective endeavor — one built on trust, respect, and unwavering care.
