Physician Assistant

About the role

Your next PA role should be more than a job. You became a Physician Assistant to make a difference—not to rush from patient to patient. At Pediatric Specialty Care (PSC), you'll provide thoughtful, high-quality care to medically fragile and technology-dependent children while becoming an important part of their long-term care journey. This is an opportunity to use your clinical skills in a highly collaborative environment where you can build meaningful relationships, strengthen your pediatric expertise, and see the impact of your care over time. If you're looking for a PA role where your expertise is valued, your voice matters, and your work has purpose, we'd love to meet you.
