About the Opportunity / A Day in the Life
We are seeking a Nurse Practitioner (NP) or Physician Assistant (PA) to join a specialty clinical team in Tucson, Arizona. This position offers a unique opportunity to build expertise in gastroenterology, hepatology, liver disease, and clinical research while managing patients across their care journey.
New graduate NPs and PAs are encouraged to apply. For an early-career APP, this is an opportunity to develop specialty knowledge, procedural skills, and clinical confidence while working alongside physicians and experienced healthcare professionals. Experienced APPs will have the opportunity to bring greater autonomy and specialty expertise to the position.
Your day-to-day work will include evaluating patients, conducting consultations and pretreatment reviews, developing treatment plans, providing follow-up care, and educating patients and families. You will collaborate with physicians on diagnoses and complex cases while becoming increasingly independent in patient management based on your experience and demonstrated competency.
You will also gain exposure to clinical research and emerging therapies. This may include caring for research patients, identifying appropriate therapeutic opportunities, and educating eligible patients about available clinical trials. Monday through Thursday is primarily focused on clinical care, while Friday is structured as a half-day dedicated to charting and administrative work , providing protected time to complete documentation and stay current on clinical responsibilities.
