Physician Associate or Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner

The NMRFA is seeking a medical practitioner who is eager to build a program in a
community from scratch and challenge the traditional status quo for medicine delivery.
The right candidate will be a self-starter who works well in a team environment with
minimal direct supervision and who prioritizes patient care in all work functions. The
medical provider will be expected to perform their full scope of practice and be
comfortable providing health care in all settings. The medical provider is expected to
work alongside 911 emergency personnel in the field. Medical providers will be based
out of the Kamilche/Shelton area and travel throughout Mason County to provide
patient care. Providers will work a 40-hour, five-day-a-week work schedule (Monday
through Friday). Medical Providers will be employed and insured by the NMRFA, and a
Physician Associate will work under the licensure of a Mason County emergency room
physician.

Your work with our team will be trail-blazing as we redefine how community medicines are
delivered. You’ll get the opportunity to work alongside emergency service crews and
advanced medical providers who have the latitude to do whatever it takes to improve patient
outcomes in North Mason County. We promise to provide the selected candidate with a work
environment that lacks barriers to medical care, encourages innovation and ideas, places
patient care above anything else, and gives the entire team everything they need to be
successful.
