We're building a world of health around every individual — shaping a more connected, convenient and compassionate health experience. At Oak Street Health, you'll be surrounded by passionate colleagues who care deeply, innovate with purpose, hold ourselves accountable and prioritize safety and quality in everything we do.

The purpose of a Physician Assistant at Oak Street Health is to provide effective and equitable value-based primary care to adults on Medicare to keep them happy, healthy, and out of the hospital. Physician Assistants see patients independently and collaborate with physicians, depending on the patients specific situation. Physician Assistants provide longitudinal care and build meaningful patient relationships; this creates trust and helps our patients understand and feel connected to their care plan.

Physician Assistants practice in our outpatient practices on a collaborative care team composed of a physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant, medical assistants, a dedicated medical scribe, and support from registered nurses and care managers. We partner with a network of elite specialists and hospitals for specialty and acute care. As such, our healthcare providers can focus on care within the clinic: primary care, care coordination, and population health.

• Provision of exceptional primary care.
• Conduct office visits for routine and acute issues.
• Administer Annual wellness visits and health risk assessments, which require a holistic view of health and a focus on thoughtful, accurate, and specific documentation.

• Population health leadership, in coordination with the Care Team (e.g., making sure all eligible females get their evidence-based breast cancer screening every 2 years)
• Assisting the care team with phone triage and outreach.
• Educating patients on their health conditions, care plans, and treatments.
• Participating in Oak Street Health promotional activities.
• Conducting home visits as needed.
• Other duties, as assigned.
