Job Details
The Center for Spine Health and Pain Management is seeking a full-time Physician Assistant (PA) or Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) with a strong interest in acute pain management and medical spine care. This role is ideal for a motivated, compassionate provider who thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced outpatient setting and is dedicated to helping patients navigate both acute pain episodes and spine-related medical conditions on their path to recovery.
As part of a comprehensive and evolving interdisciplinary team, this provider will independently manage a range of outpatient cases, including acute pain conditions, chronic pain exacerbations, injury-related pain, and non-surgical spine diagnoses. In addition to general pain evaluations, the role will involve assessment and management of medical spine patients—those with spine-related symptoms that do not require surgical intervention.
Key Responsibilities:
Conduct independent outpatient clinic visits for acute pain and medical spine evaluations and follow-ups
Assess and manage patients with non-surgical spine and pain conditions, such as lumbar or cervical radiculopathy, degenerative disc disease, and musculoskeletal concerns.
Collaborate with physicians, physical therapists, and other specialists to develop integrated, short- and long-term care plans
Educate patients on pain management strategies, medication use, spine health, and safe recovery practices
Monitor treatment response and guide appropriate transitions of care, including referrals for imaging, therapy, or advanced interventions
Participate in team-based discussions, care planning, and continuous quality improvement initiatives
Be trained in and contribute to Intrathecal Pump (ITP) management
Experience in acute care, orthopedics, anesthesia, or pain management is preferred, but new graduates with a passion for pain and spine care are encouraged to apply!
