Join a patient-centered hospitalist program where Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) are highly valued for their clinical expertise and teamwork. As a Hospitalist Nurse Practitioner (NP) or Physician Assistant (PA), you will work in a well-supported inpatient setting, managing your own patient panel while collaborating closely with physicians and a multidisciplinary care team.
This role offers a structured 7-on/7-off schedule with manageable patient volumes and no overnight call, thanks to telemedicine coverage.

• Manage a daily patient load of ~12 patients with 1-3 admissions per day.
• Work independently within a collaborative hospitalist model, rounding on your own patients.
