Locum - Nurse Practitioner/ Physician Assistant - General Surgery - Portland, OR

Advanced Practice Provider

We are looking for about one week on/one week off coverage starting in January. The position is to help with ED on call coverage. Providers will be expected to be on call for the ED and during their shift complete surgeries and rotate doing post op consults. Shifts for the APP's are 7a-3p, 11a-7p weekdays and 7a-3p shifts on the weekends. We are looking for acute care surgery experience in candidates. The APP is there to assist the surgeon. If the provider is on call coverage and gets a call about another urgent case, the APP will be the first to be called to go assist and then the surgeon will join them. Occasionally the APP does help with post op consults if the surgeon is stuck in a surgery. There will be no clinic for this position.
