This is a full-scope clinical position with a small administrative component focused on quality improvement and peer collaboration.

• Evaluate patients, diagnose conditions, and deliver evidence-based clinical treatments within the facility's authorized scope of practice.
• Order and interpret diagnostic studies including laboratory panels, diagnostic imaging, and electrocardiograms to guide clinical decision-making.
• Prescribe and manage patient medications in accordance with VA formulary policies and established guidelines.
• Conduct advance care planning discussions with patients, including end-of-life preferences and goals-of-care conversations.
• Coordinate referrals and consultations with clinical sub-specialists, and manage transitions of care including discharges and follow-up arrangements.
• Perform core clinical procedures such as abscess incision and drainage and fecal occult blood testing.
• Complete accurate clinical documentation and select appropriate E&M procedure codes in CPRS/EHR at the close of each patient encounter, and communicate test results to patients in timely compliance with VA notification standards.
