Responsibilities

We are looking for an experienced Surgical Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant to join the Cardiothoracic Surgery team in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

The Cardiovascular surgery department in Northwest Wisconsin is a progressive, innovative thoracic, vascular and cardiac surgery practice. The practice consists of three surgeons, 4 Operative NP/PAs and 2 non-operative NP/PAs. Due to a retirement, the practice is recruiting for an operative NP/PA to maintain current staffing for this busy practice.

The current staffing model consists of 4 physician assistants who function primarily in the operating room (first assist, conduit harvesting) and inpatient(ICU/Step-down rounds). The other individuals function in a nonsurgical role concentrating primarily on inpatient rounds and the outpatient clinic practice.

This position is an operative position and therefore the primary focus is acting as a first assist in the operating room for Cardiothoracic cases and coverage of both non-ICU inpatient and surgical call. Secondary responsibilities include hospital rounds, consults/discharges on hospital patients, and postoperative clinic visits.

During the selection process you may participate in an OnDemand (pre-recorded) interview that you can complete at your convenience.
