Physician Assistant (PA) - Anesthesiology

Physician Assistant

Clifton Springs, NY Locum Tenens

Clifton Springs, New York Physician Assistant Pre-Anesthesia Testing Locum Tenens Opportunity Monday–Friday Days No Call No Weekends 8–9 Patients/Day No Procedures

Rhino Medical is leading the charge seeking an experienced Physician Assistant for an urgent Pre-Anesthesia Testing locum tenens opportunity in Clifton Springs, New York.

This is a highly focused outpatient role supporting patients before their scheduled surgical procedures. Rather than working in the OR or managing same-day surgical patients, the PA will conduct pre-operative assessments, review medical histories and clinical data, identify optimization needs, coordinate appropriate referrals, and work closely with Surgery and Anesthesia teams to help prepare patients for upcoming procedures.

For a PA with relevant pre-operative, perioperative, surgical, hospital medicine, or anesthesia-assessment experience, this offers an attractive clinical model: Monday through Friday days, approximately 8–9 patients per day, no procedures, no call, and no weekends.

Opportunity Highlights

This is an ambulatory, office-style pre-operative assessment setting. Patients are evaluated in advance of their scheduled procedures and are not undergoing surgery on the day of the visit. The role centers on thoughtful clinical assessment, chart review, surgical readiness, medical optimization, and coordination of care rather than procedures or high-volume episodic medicine. Approximately 8–9 patients are scheduled per day.
