[Hiring] Virtual Physician Assistant @The Ship Group Services.

Role Description

We’re looking for a dependable, clinically strong Physician Assistant to provide telehealth primary care and medication management within an integrated care environment. This PRN role is ideal for a PA who enjoys structured workflows, is comfortable working independently, and has some exposure to behavioral health presentations commonly seen in primary care (depression/anxiety, sleep issues, trauma-related symptoms, substance use history, etc.).

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct telehealth visits for common primary care needs (acute + chronic conditions).
• Provide medication management and follow-up care when clinically appropriate.
• Use screening tools (e.g., PHQ-9/GAD-7) and coordinate with behavioral health clinicians as needed.
• Order/review labs and diagnostics within scope and payer requirements.
• Document accurately and timely in the EHR (same day preferred; within 24 hours required).
• Provide warm handoffs and clinically appropriate referrals to behavioral health/community supports.
• Maintain compliance with telehealth standards, privacy requirements, and internal clinical protocols.

What We Handle (So You Can Focus on Patient Care)

• Intake coordination (demographics, insurance verification, required forms/consents).
• Scheduling, reminders, and non-clinical follow-ups.
• Chart prep (pharmacy confirmation, medication list collection, organizing uploaded documents).
• Referral logistics and administrative coordination.
• Supervising MD support in place + clear escalation pathway.
• Clinical templates/workflows to support efficient documentation.
• No patient acquisition responsibility — we handle marketing and intake workflow to keep the schedule moving.

Qualifications

• Active North Carolina PA license in good standing.
• Must be able to prescribe and manage medications within scope, including e-prescribing and PDMP requirements when applicable.
• Strong documentation habits and comfort using EHR/telehealth platforms.
• Reliable internet + private workspace suitable for telehealth.
• Primary care/urgent care/family medicine experience preferred.
• Behavioral health experience/exposure preferred (integrated care, community health, depression/anxiety screening, substance use history, etc.).

Compensation & Growth

• $45–$50/hour (W-2 PRN) for scheduled, patient-facing clinic time (based on experience).
• 1–2 consistent clinic days/week to start; opportunity to expand as volume grows.
• Compensation review at 6 months based on program growth, volume, and quality metrics.
• Optional growth path into a Lead APP role as the program scales (for candidates who want leadership).

Benefits

• Flexible schedule.

Application Question(s)

• Provide your active NC PA license number and expiration date, and confirm whether it is in good standing. Describe any outstanding steps needed before you can provide the primary care and medication-management services described in this posting. Credentials and readiness to practice will be verified before starting.
• List the recurring days and clinic hours you can commit to in Eastern Time and your earliest start date. This W-2 PRN role starts with 1-2 consistent clinic days per week, with expansion dependent on volume. Is the posted $45-$50/hour starting range acceptable? State any scheduling conflicts or minimum weekly hours you need.
• Briefly describe your primary care, urgent care, or family medicine experience, including settings, dates, and your own responsibilities. Include relevant telehealth and behavioral health screening/medication-management exposure. Give one example of how you coordinated care or escalated a concern within your scope. Do not include patient-identifying information.
• Can you meet the posted requirement to complete EHR documentation within 24 hours and provide telehealth from a private workspace with reliable internet? Name the EHR/telehealth tools you have used and briefly describe how you track unsigned notes, lab results, and follow-up tasks so they are completed on time.
