Old Fort Family Medicine is seeking a full-time Physician Assistant (PA-C) or Nurse Practitioner (NP) to join our growing independent family medicine practice in Western North Carolina.
We are looking for a motivated provider who enjoys primary care, values long-term relationships with patients, and wants to become an important part of a practice that is continuing to grow and evolve.
Why Old Fort Family Medicine?
We believe this is an exciting time to practice primary care.
As healthcare increasingly rewards quality, outcomes, preventive care, and proactive management of chronic disease, independent primary care practices have new opportunities to provide better care while investing more in the providers and teams who deliver it.
We’re actively building that model.
Our providers are supported by physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, medical assistants, laboratory staff, and administrative staff. We continue to develop systems for proactive patient outreach, chronic disease management, care coordination, and quality improvement so that caring for patients is increasingly a team effort.
Because we are an independent practice, we’re able to adapt quickly, develop new programs, and give our providers a meaningful voice in how the practice evolves.
The Position
This is a full-time outpatient family medicine position caring for an established and growing patient population.
Responsibilities include:
· Preventive and wellness care
· Acute and same-day visits
· Chronic disease management
· Behavioral health management within primary care
· Medication management
· Ordering and interpreting laboratory and diagnostic testing
· Patient education and shared decision-making
· Coordination with specialists and other members of the care team
· Proactive management and follow-up of patients between traditional office visits
· Maintaining accurate and timely clinical documentation
This is a busy primary care practice, and we’re looking for someone who enjoys being productive while maintaining thoughtful, high-quality patient care.
More Than a Traditional Primary Care Role
We want our advanced practice providers to develop professionally as the practice grows.
In addition to providing excellent direct patient care, there are opportunities to become involved in areas such as:
· Population health and chronic disease management
· Quality improvement
· Development of clinical protocols and workflows
· Provider and clinical team leadership
· Areas of individual clinical interest
· New service lines and practice initiatives
Our goal is to create an environment where excellent providers can build a long-term career in primary care, with opportunities for increasing responsibility, autonomy, professional development, and compensation.
Compensation & Benefits
We offer a competitive compensation package including:
· Competitive base salary
· Productivity-based bonus opportunity
· Quality performance bonus
· 6 weeks of paid leave annually
· Health insurance
· $2,500 annual CME allowance
· Malpractice coverage
