What are the responsibilities and job description for the Nurse Practitioner/Physician Assistant, Family Medicine - Bellamy position at Mass General Brigham?
At Mass General Brigham, we know it takes a surprising range of talented professionals to advance our mission—from doctors, nurses, business people and tech experts, to dedicated researchers and systems analysts. As a not-for-profit organization, Mass General Brigham is committed to supporting patient care, research, teaching, and service to the community. We place great value on being a diverse, equitable and inclusive organization as we aim to reflect the diversity of the patients we serve.
At Mass General Brigham, we believe a diverse set of backgrounds and lived experiences makes us stronger by challenging our assumptions with new perspectives that can drive revolutionary discoveries in medical innovations in research and patient care. Therefore, we invite and welcome applicants from traditionally underrepresented groups in healthcare — people of color, people with disabilities, LGBTQ community, and/or gender expansive, first and second-generation immigrants, veterans, and people from different socioeconomic backgrounds – to apply.
The Mass General Brigham Medical Group is a system-led operating entity formed by Mass General Brigham to deliver high quality, low cost, innovative community-based ambulatory care. This work stems from Mass General Brigham’s unified system strategy to bring health care closer to patients while lowering total health care costs. The Medical Group provides a wide range of offerings, including primary care, specialty care, behavioral and mental health, and urgent care, both digitally as well as at physical locations in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine. The group also offers outpatient surgery and endoscopy, imaging, cardiac testing, and infusion. We share the commitment to delivering a coordinated and comprehensive experience across all locations, ensuring the appropriate level of care is available to every patient across our care delivery sites.
We are seeking a full-time, 40-hour Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant to support our Family Medicine office located at 15 Old Rollinsford Road, Dover, NH 03820. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 5:00pm. Weekly schedules consist of 32 hours of clinical, patient-facing time and 8 hours of administrative time. The APP will see patients on-site on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Tuesdays will be reserved for this APP’s remote, administrative day.
The APP will build their own panel of 12-1500 patients. Our office provides physical examinations, routine health screenings, and preventative care for patients of all ages. The goal is to identify and control patients' health risk factors before they become problems. We diagnose and treat acute and chronic illnesses, and promote general health, disease prevention and overall well-being. In addition to offering traditional primary care visits, this practice also offers same day sick appointments. With this model, providers work autonomously to the top of their licensure while also functioning as part of a team.
Are you ready to bring your talent to this team and join us in driving medicine forward? In this full-time role, you will have access to a competitive benefits package tailored to meet your needs!
