• Perform advanced procedures as credentialed, including lumbar punctures, ventriculostomies, ICP monitoring, and wound management.
• Participate actively in daily rounds, patient consultations, and interdisciplinary team meetings.
• Contribute to the program’s quality improvement initiatives and participate in professional development opportunities.

Qualifications

• Graduate of an accredited Physician Assistant (PA) or Nurse Practitioner (NP) program.
• Current and unrestricted license in South Dakota as a PA or NP.

• Minimum of 2 years of experience in neurosurgery, with trauma experience preferred.
• ICU experience is a significant advantage.
• Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and Basic Life Support (BLS) certifications.
• Strong clinical skills with the ability to work independently and collaboratively within a team.
• Excellent communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills.

• Full-time position with 175 ten-hour shifts annually.
• Competitive salary with a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, and retirement plans.
