Job SummaryInland Neurosurgery and Spine is seeking two dedicated and compassionate Nurse Practitioners or Physician Assistants to join our growing healthcare team.

Responsibilities
- For Clinic Assignment: Working primarily in the office, M-F, seeing and managing mainly new patients with mostly non-operative spine issues.

You would occasionally also be a resource for our clinic nurses if prescriptions were needed or if other higher level care assessments were needed.
