NCCPA-certified Physician Assistant specializing in psychiatry with 5+ years clinical experience and immediate availability.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a personable, professional NCCPA-certified Physician Assistant with over five years of clinical practice across psychiatry, urgent care, and multiple medical specialties. I completed a Master of Medical Science from Lincoln Memorial University (2019) and hold active state licenses including Texas and Massachusetts as well as a DEA license.
In my most recent role as a Psychiatry PA, I managed a personal caseload of 423+ patients via outpatient telemedicine, performed diagnostic evaluations, psychoeducation, and medication management for a broad range of mental health conditions, and collaborated closely with therapists, case managers, and social workers. I maintain high accuracy in charting and coding, served as a teaching preceptor for PA students, and earned high audit scores during annual reviews.
I deliver compassionate, patient-centered care, adeptly handle high-volume urgent care settings (procedures including suturing, splinting, wound care, and gynecologic exams), and have research experience with a chapter published in a Springer text. I am licensed in multiple states and ready to start immediately.
