Physician Assistant

Job Description

Physician Assistant — Interventional Pain Management

\n

Carolina Pain & Spine, a division of NeuroCarolina | Raleigh & Wake Forest, NC | Full-Time, On-Site

\n \n

Join a Team That's Redefining Pain Care in the Triangle

\n

Carolina Pain & Spine is looking for one or two Physician Assistants to join our growing interventional pain practice. If you want to work at the top of your license — running your own procedure schedule, managing complex medication regimens, and being the clinician who identifies which patients actually need a spinal cord stimulator, an SI joint fusion, or a kyphoplasty rather than another refill — this is that job.

\n \n

We're part of NeuroCarolina, a multidisciplinary neurosurgical and pain network with locations across North Carolina. Our physicians are double board-certified in Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, trained at institutions like Duke, MGH/Harvard, and Wake Forest, and active in clinical research through the NeuroCarolina Research Institute. You'll be working alongside physicians who are also investigators, consultants, and innovators in the field — not just clinicians running a schedule.

\n \n \n

What You'll Actually Be Doing

\n

This isn't simply a medication refill role. We want a PA who can:

\n

\n
• Independently evaluate and triage — take a history, run a focused exam, build a differential, and know which patients are procedural candidates versus which need medication optimization, imaging, or a different specialist entirely
\n
• Perform procedures yourself — trigger point injections, joint injections, and other office-based interventional work
\n
• Manage medications with clinical judgment, not just protocol-following — titrating, weighing risk, and knowing when a regimen isn't working
\n
• Own your patient panel — coordinate care, educate patients and families, and follow through on outcomes, not just throughput
\n
• Contribute to a research-active practice — exposure to clinical trials and evidence generation if that interests you
\n

Who We're Looking For

\n

\n
• Graduate of an accredited PA program, current NCCPA certification
\n
• Active or eligible NC PA license with prescriptive authority
\n
• Strongly prefer : prior experience in pain management. We'll also seriously consider strong candidates from other backgrounds
\n
• Comfortable — or eager to become comfortable — performing office-based procedures independently
\n
• Sharp clinical judgment: someone we can trust to know what they don't know and escalate appropriately
\n
• A communicator who builds real relationships with patients, not just checks boxes in the EHR
