Job description

Full Time | High Rock Internal Medicine | Lexington, NC

“I founded this practice because I wanted the autonomy to care for patients with compassion and long-term commitment. Many of our patients have nowhere else to go—nothing is more meaningful than helping them begin a life-changing journey toward health.”

Why This Role Matters

Many of our patients face significant medical, financial, and social barriers to care. For some, High Rock Internal Medicine is their most consistent connection to healthcare, support, and advocacy.

As a PA or NP on our team, you will care for patients with complex chronic illnesses, help vulnerable populations navigate their healthcare journeys, and build meaningful relationships that often span years. You will not simply manage diagnoses and medications — you will help people improve their quality of life and achieve better health outcomes.

If you became a PA or NP to make a real difference in your patients' lives, and you want to do that work alongside a physician and team who will invest in you, this role offers that every day.

Why This Practice

• Practice Medicine with Purpose — Our mission extends beyond treating symptoms. We care for medically complex and underserved patients while helping people achieve healthier, fuller lives.
• Work as a True Team Member — Your clinical judgment matters here. We collaborate as a team, and you will have a real voice in how care is delivered.
• Receive Real Mentorship — Our structured onboarding and direct physician collaboration are designed to help you build confidence and grow your scope of practice over time.
• Enjoy Sustainable Practice — No evening clinic hours, no weekend clinic hours, no call. A stable, collaborative clinical team and a strong voice in practice operations.

Why Now

High Rock Internal Medicine is growing, and we are building out our care team to keep pace with the needs of our patients — without sacrificing the relationship-centered model that has defined this practice since 2000. Joining now means joining a team that is investing in the right people for the long term, with room to take on more as you grow into the role.

As a Physician Assistant or Nurse Practitioner, you will provide primary health care services under the direction of the practice physician, working as part of a collaborative care team within an integrated biopsychosocial model.

Why Lexington, North Carolina

High‑impact medicine doesn't require sacrificing your quality of life. Lexington sits just 20 minutes from Winston‑Salem, giving you easy access to arts, culture, dining, and entertainment, while offering the larger properties, short commutes, and strong community connections of small‑town living. Highly regarded schools, safe communities, and outdoor recreation make it a genuinely family‑friendly place to put down roots — all while enjoying a significantly lower cost of living than most metropolitan areas.

Join a Practice with Purpose

If you're looking for more than a job — if you're looking for a place where you can grow as a provider, build meaningful patient relationships, and be part of an independent, physician‑led practice — we encourage you to explore a future with High Rock Internal Medicine.
