What are the responsibilities and job description for the Nurse Practitioner/Physician Assistant, Internal Medicine - Hingham position at Mass General Brigham?
About Us
Brigham and Women's Harbor Medical Associates, a member of Mass General Brigham Medical Group, is a multispecialty, primary care practice with more than 65 physicians. We have several offices across the South Shore and are affiliated with Brigham and Women's Hospital, Dana-Farber Brigham Cancer Center, and South Shore Hospital.
We believe that patient care comes first. Our physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, and support staff recognize the importance of prompt, expert, and compassionate care for patients whose needs span from general health maintenance to treatment for complex medical problems.
The Opportunity
We are seeking a 40-hour Advanced Practice Provider (Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant) to support our Internal Medicine office. Weekly schedules consist of 32 hours of patient-facing, clinical time, and 8 hours of administrative time. We are open to our patients Monday through Friday from 7:00am to 5:00pm, and we offer flexible scheduling options. We are located at 6 Shipyard Drive in Hingham, MA.
Our office provides physical examinations, routine health screenings, and preventative care for adult patients. 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.
The APPs share panels with physicians to enhance practice operations, increasing patient volume and efficiency while providing excellent patient care and experience. This includes traditional primary care visits and same day sick appointments. With this model, providers work autonomously to the top of their licensure while also functioning as part of a team. Because patients typically come to us when they aren't feeling their best, it is incredibly important to us that our staff members strive to provide the compassion and emotional support our patients need.
