Job Description

Make a Difference as a Contract Physician Assistant for 2 months.

Proactive MD is seeking an experienced Physician Assistant (PA-C) to provide comprehensive, patient-centered primary care at our employer-sponsored health center in New York, NY. We are looking for a PA to cover Part Time hours (3 or 4 days a week) for 2 months starting ASAP. Hourly Rate $90.00.

Clinic hours: Monday--Friday 9:00am - 5:30pm, no weekends.

If you're looking for a primary care practice where you can spend meaningful time with patients instead of rushing through high-volume appointments, Proactive MD offers a different approach to healthcare.

Our providers spend an average of 30 minutes with each patient, allowing you to focus on listening, diagnosing, treating, educating, and building lasting relationships.

What Makes Proactive MD Different?

More Time With Patients

Broad-Scope Primary Care

You'll have the opportunity to practice comprehensive outpatient primary care, including preventive care, acute care, chronic disease management, wellness, and health education.

No RVUs or Volume-Based Metrics

Proactive MD is not a traditional fee-for-service practice. We don't focus on how many patients you can see in a day. Our priorities are patient health, satisfaction, engagement, and outcomes.
