About this opportunity
NPHire lists this Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant, Primary Care Korean Speaking opportunity in silver spring, Maryland. Review the employer’s description below for duties, qualifications and application requirements.
Job description
A physician-owned primary care practice in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC is hiring an NP or PA to care for an adult patient panel that is largely Korean-speaking. Korean fluency is a functional requirement here, not a nice-to-have — a significant share of visits, from history and exam through counseling and family discussion, are conducted in Korean. The practice is established and physician-led, and welcomes candidates at any stage of their advanced practice career.
Why You'll Love This Opportunity
Language-concordant care is the practice model, not an add-on — you'll practice in Korean as a matter of course, with the clinical depth that allows, rather than switching languages or working through an interpreter. New graduates are genuinely welcome, with formal onboarding and an on-site physician owner; five or more years of RN experience also counts toward the experience they're looking for. Flexibility for the right candidate: onsite by default, but hybrid or telehealth days are open to discussion, along with a negotiable sign‑on bonus and relocation assistance. Maryland licensure and continuing education costs are covered by the employer, along with malpractice coverage. Compensation rewards productivity, with a bonus on top of a competitive base and room above the range for more experienced candidates.
Key Responsibilities
Provide primary care to an adult patient panel (18+), conducting visits in Korean where that's the patient's preference.
Diagnose and manage acute presentations and chronic conditions, including hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and thyroid disease.
Perform annual wellness visits, preventive screening, and health maintenance.
Order and interpret labs and imaging, and coordinate specialty referrals.
Deliver medication and lifestyle counseling in Korean, tailored to the patient.
Document accurately and on time in eClinicalWorks.
Collaborate with the physician owner and provider team on complex cases.
Required Qualifications
Advanced or native Korean fluency — a hard requirement, no substitutions.
Active Maryland APRN or PA license, or eligibility to obtain one (single state only).
FNP board certification or PA-C certification.
Active DEA registration.
Current ACLS and BLS.
Comfort caring for an adult population (18+).
A compassionate, relationship-focused approach — the practice is looking for someone who treats patients like family.
Preferred Qualifications
Prior primary care experience as an NP, PA, or ambulatory-care RN.
Experience with eClinicalWorks.
Experience serving first-generation immigrant patients or in a language-concordant care setting.
Interest in building a long‑term panel rather than a short‑term role.
Compensation and Benefits
Base salary of $125,000-$150,000, with roughly 5-10% flexibility and room above the range for candidates with 5+ years of experience.
Productivity bonus included.
Sign‑on bonus and relocation assistance, both negotiable.
Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
Maryland licensure costs and continuing education covered by the employer.
Malpractice coverage included.
Formal onboarding program.
