Physician Assistant/Associate

Full Job Description

Bluerock Care provides primary care without walls to mid- and lower-income adults on Medicare in mostly underserved areas. We combine virtual, home, and office-based care to meet people’s needs where and when they arise.

Our mission is to deliver an unparalleled experience for our patients, while improving overall quality of care, and providing an enjoyable place for clinicians to work. We are a value-based provider: through our contracts with payers, we aim to be rewarded for quality and outcomes, not volume. We also believe that practitioners should be able to spend time with patients and the care team — not overly burdened by administrative tasks.

We are located at 3230 Pennsylvania Ave, SE, Washington DC 20020, and we serve patients in both DC and MD. With our unique care model, we aim to grow rapidly both regionally and nationally.

Essential job duties and responsibilities

We are looking for a PA to join our team. The responsibilities will be, amongst others:

• Practice primary care through office visits, virtual visits, and home visits in a way that sets a high standard for other clinicians joining our primary care team.
• Work collaboratively with our care team (Registered Nurses, Medical Assistants, Clinical Assistants, among others) to collectively manage patients’ care.
• Appropriately order diagnostic studies, interpret results, and create individualized treatment plans using evidence based medicine.
• Manage medical and surgical conditions with knowledge of indications, contraindications, and adverse effects of treatment modalities.
• Counsel and educate patients and families.
• Perform accurate and timely documentation in the electronic medical record.
• Be a role model, mentor and coach for all others on the team.
• Perform other related duties as assigned

Qualifications

At this crucial time in the development of our company, we are looking for a team player who is passionate about our mission, driven to help implement our innovative care model, and eager to help grow our organization. We are at an early stage in our development, so flexibility and willingness to help problem-solve are key.

The ideal candidate has a strong affinity or connection with the populations we serve. Key criteria include:

• Leadership skills, passion for teamwork, ability to coach/mentor team members in a young, dynamic organization.
• Unrestricted license to practice as a PA in DC and Maryland.
• CDS and DEA for both DC and Maryland preferred
• Minimum of 1 year work experience as a PA.
• Relevant experience (working with elderly patients, lower-income patients and/or palliative care) preferred
• Enthusiastic to work in a performance-driven organization (data-driven, focused on continuous improvement of patient experience, care quality, and outcomes)
• Experience with Electronic Medical Records and office software.
• Active driver’s license and reliable transportation

What we offer

• Full malpractice coverage
• More time with patients and colleagues; lower administrative burden
• Dynamic and inspiring working environment
• Brand new, state of the art health center
• Opportunity to help shape the future of primary care
• Significant career growth opportunities
• For full time positions, we offer additional benefits including medical/dental/vision insurance.

Bluerock Care embraces diversity and encourages all those interested to apply.
