Geriatric Physiatry NP/PA — Own Your Panel

Fortis Care; Savannah (GA); Sur place; USD 100 000 - 150 000; Temps partiel

Résumé du poste

Fortis Care is seeking a Physiatry Advanced Practice Provider to round at a partner SNF in Savannah, managing residents with knee/shoulder pain, spasticity, and neuropathic pain. You’ll assess barriers, treat, and hand patients back to the therapy team for continued progress.

This is a 1099 independent contractor engagement. You set your own days, manage your own panel, and are compensated on what you produce—not on hours logged.

Qualifications

• Current Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant license in the state of Georgia.
• For NPs: certification in Internal Medicine, Geriatrics, or Family Practice required. For PAs: current NCCPA certification required.
• Must have an unrestricted DEA license or willing to obtain (we reimburse you)
• Minimum 1–2 years of NP or PA experience preferred; experience in subacute rehab, post-acute, SNF, or geriatrics strongly preferred.
• Ability to work independently in a facility setting with physician support.
• Familiarity with EHR systems and clinical documentation best practices.

Responsabilités

• Evaluate residents flagged by therapy or nursing as unable to progress — a focused functional, musculoskeletal, and neuromuscular exam to find the actual barrier.
• Treat it directly: peripheral joint and soft-tissue injections (knees, shoulders, hips), spasticity management including botulinum toxin, trigger point and dry needling, and targeted medication management.
• Build the plan with PT/OT, nursing, and the attending team — including DME, bracing, and adaptive equipment — so the functional gain sticks after you leave the room
• Follow through: recheck, adjust, document, and elevate or refer anything outside physiatry's lane.
• Teach: you become the facility's go-to resource on therapy readiness, mobility, fall prevention, and pain that's getting in the way of recovery.
