Primary Care Advanced Practice Provider

Advanced Practice Provider – Primary Care

Are you an NP or PA who wants to practice meaningful, relationship-driven primary care? At Thundermist Health Center, you'll serve as an autonomous licensed provider responsible for your own patient panel — building continuity, managing chronic and acute conditions, and delivering the kind of care that makes a real difference over time. Your days will include comprehensive assessments, evidence-based treatment, patient education, and close collaboration with an interdisciplinary team. If you're looking for a role where clinical depth meets community impact, this is your opportunity to help advance health equity for the populations that need it most.

What You'll Do

Patient Care

• Manage a panel of primary care patients, providing continuity of care through scheduled appointments and ongoing management of acute and chronic conditions.
• Conduct comprehensive patient assessments including health histories, physical exams, and anticipatory guidance across the lifespan.
• Develop, implement, and update individualized care plans based on clinical assessment, patient goals, and evidence-based standards of care.
• Perform point-of-care testing including rapid strep, flu, COVID, urinalysis, STI testing, and more.
• Perform wound care, suturing, splinting, and minor surgical procedures.
• Order and interpret diagnostic tests (X-ray, ultrasound, labs) and initiate appropriate treatment based on results.
• Prescribe medications within your scope of practice.
• Maintain complete and accurate same-day clinical documentation.
• Supervise nurse practitioner students as assigned.

Collaboration & Administrative

• Conduct peer chart reviews on a rotating basis.
• Participate in departmental and team meetings to support care coordination and quality improvement.
• Maintain compliance with credentialing, re-credentialing, and privileging requirements.
• Meet patient throughput and productivity standards to support efficient, accessible care.

What We're Looking For

You're a confident, thoughtful clinician who brings both clinical expertise and genuine warmth to every patient relationship. You're comfortable owning a panel, managing complexity, and motivated by the mission of making high-quality primary care accessible to everyone.

• 3+ years of experience as an NP or PA in a primary care setting, with demonstrated experience managing a patient panel.
• Active Rhode Island RN and NP or PA licensure.
• ANA Certification in your specialty (family medicine, internal medicine, women's health, or pediatrics).
• Ongoing continuing education to maintain and update clinical skills.
• Exceptional oral and written communication skills, with proficiency in applicable medical terminology.
• Demonstrated commitment to patient-centered, high-quality care for diverse and underserved populations, and an authentic passion for health equity and community health.
