Job Summary and Responsibilities

As our Neurosurgery Physician Assistant (PA), you will be an advanced practice provider working alongside neurosurgeons to diagnose, treat, and manage patients with complex disorders of the brain, spine, and nervous system. You will serve as a vital clinical partner, balancing intricate inpatient care, surgical assisting, and comprehensive outpatient clinic management.

Every day you will perform patient evaluations, order and interpret diagnostics, assist in major cranial and spinal surgical procedures, and manage inpatient and ICU care, including daily rounds and discharge planning.

Surgical Assisting (Operating Room): Act as primary first assistant during major cranial (e.g., craniotomies) and spinal (e.g., fusions, decompressions) procedures. Perform bedside/in-office procedures like lumbar punctures, EVD management, and shunt taps.

Inpatient & ICU Management: Conduct daily inpatient rounds, write progress notes, manage acute neurological emergencies, and coordinate comprehensive care plans from admission to discharge.

Adhere to AMA medical ethics and relevant professional standards.

Leverage our Physician Group's comprehensive resources (supply chain, tech trainers, credentialing, etc.) to optimize efficiency and clinical focus.
