Physician Assistant

About the Role

MainStreet Family Care is growing and looking to hire a fast, fun, and friendly Physician Assistant (PA) to join our team full time in Elizabeth City, NC. You will provide patient-focused care to help patients feel better FAST. Services provided to the public include urgent care, primary medical care, telemedicine, and occupational medicine.

The ideal applicant will be able to lead a small team while working in a high-volume and fast-paced urgent care environment. This is an opportunity for PAs early in their career — including brand new grads. Following on-site hosted HQ orientation and training, you will have several training shifts with existing providers in one of our clinics. Support continues with a competitive CME allowance, a free UpToDate subscription, and a provider on-call to help with clinical decision-making as you grow into the role.

You will utilize your full scope of practice, treating patients of all ages — babies, kids, adults, and geriatric patients alike — in an urgent care environment. You will be the medical provider in the clinic, with treatment protocols available to guide decision-making. Your small team of medical assistants will support you, and you will serve as a leader and professional role model for them.

MainStreet clinics service rural communities that need access to care. Clinics are open 362 days a year. Most clinics qualify for tuition reimbursement grants or student loan reimbursement grants funded by the state, and we support you in the application process.
