Work where every moment matters.

Physician Assistant / Nurse Practitioner Role Scope  

The advanced practitioner will provide care in an ambulatory setting to bariatric surgical weight loss, medical weight loss, and general surgery patients. The bariatric nurse practitioner or physician assistant develops long standing patient relationships to help patients not only treat health conditions, but to dramatically improve their lives. Daily responsibilities include midway visits between initial consultations and surgery, post-operative care, lap band management, and patient education. Additional responsibilities may include engaging the community to provide education and support groups, establishing relationships with primary care physicians, and possible participation in research projects and quality initiatives. At home call may be required (not currently) and coverage at additional sites may be required.

Possible to mention being part of a team, having support and collaboration with a seasoned group – sometimes think that may be a positive?
