Job Description
Job Overview We are seeking a dedicated and skilled Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) to join our healthcare team. The ideal candidate will provide comprehensive care to patients of all ages, focusing on preventive care, health education, and management of chronic conditions. This role requires a strong clinical background, excellent communication skills, and the ability to work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team. The candidate should be able to perform disability examinations for U.S. military veterans as part of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Compensation & Pension (C&P) program. The role involves objective medical assessments—not treatment or ongoing care—to provide accurate documentation that supports the VA's disability determination process. Duties Conduct thorough physical examinations and patient assessments to determine health status. Develop and implement individualized treatment plans based on patient needs. Administer medications and injections as required. Perform diagnostic evaluations and procedures such as suturing, catheterization, and spinal taps. Manage acute care situations in various settings including urgent care, emergency medicine, and hospital environments. Provide care for patients with chronic illnesses, including geriatrics, pediatrics, and those requiring hospice & palliative medicine. Utilize electronic medical records (EMR) systems such as Office Ally for accurate medical documentation. Engage in health coaching and patient education regarding lifestyle modifications and disease prevention. Collaborate with other healthcare professionals in case management and discharge planning. Ensure compliance with HIPAA regulations and NCQA standards in all patient interactions. Conduct comprehensive, structured medical history reviews and physical examinations of veterans applying for VA disability benefits. Review military service treatment records, civilian medical records, and supporting documentation. Perform diagnostic evaluations consistent with VA Disability Benefits Questionnaires (DBQs) and VA guidelines. Objectively assess and document clinical findings related to claimed conditions (e.g., musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, neurological, psychiatric, respiratory). Enter exam results into electronic medical record systems and prepare clear, evidence-based medical reports. Ensure all documentation meets VA standards for completeness, accuracy, and timeliness. Collaborate with other examiners (physicians, psychologists, physician assistants) when necessary for complex cases.
