Physician Assistant

Description

The Agile approach focuses on speed – from eliminating unnecessary time in the clinic, to accelerating access to specialists, to driving faster recover. Every aspect of patient care, employer support, and integration with claims teams can be improved upon by focusing on speed of execution and communications. We engage patient with aggressive scheduling and follow-up, engage claims teams with better information and insights, and engage employers with information and education that reduces lost time and keeps their employees on course for return to work. Our flexible workflows for employers and payors reduce gaps in communication and simplify referral and authorization processes. 

This position provides an opportunity to operate with an independent nature and with a keen focus on quality care. In addition to clinic duties, as a Nurse Practitioner (NP) or Physician Assistant (PA) with Agile you will sharpen your leadership skills by joining a medical team with expertise in occupational medicine, coaching back-office staff, educating nursing staff and students.
