Key Responsibilities:

• Perform evaluations of patients with spine and musculoskeletal pain, understanding the physical exam, clinical history, and diagnostic studies.
• Provide post-operative follow-up for implantable spinal cord and peripheral nerve stimulators
• Assisting with medication and inbox management
• Collaborate closely with physicians and other healthcare professionals to coordinate patient care.
• Educate patients on multi-modal treatment options, medications, and lifestyle changes to manage pain.
• Maintain accurate patient records and ensure documentation meets clinic and regulatory standards.
• A typical workday incorporates protected inbox management time (Care Coordination time) and 16-18 patient visits per day

Qualifications:

• Active Physician Assistant licensure in California.
• Experience in pain management, orthopedics, physiatry, or spine care.
