Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant - Rapid Diagnostics Team

Caring for 75,000 patients per year, the Saint Marys Hospital Emergency Department at Mayo Clinic is a regional level 1 trauma center and is also the base of operations for nationally regarded Air and Ground Transportation programs. We are expanding our practice to staff a dedicated Emergency Department Observation Unit (EDOU), operated by Department of Emergency Medicine providers and embedded in the ED practice. The EDOU provides 24/7/365 coverage and delivers focused, time-limited evaluation and treatment for patients who require care beyond the initial ED visit but are expected to be discharged within 24 hours.

• In the EDOU clinical setting the NP/PA serves as an independent provider, collaborates with physicians, and works with a variety of other healthcare professionals.
• The NP/PA will provide comprehensive assessment, diagnosis, ordering, conducting and interpreting diagnostic tests, prescription of pharmacological agents, and patient education.
• Common EDOU presentations include chest pain, syncope, TIA, abdominal pain, asthma and COPD exacerbations, cellulitis, dehydration, pyelonephritis, and atrial fibrillation.
• The NP/PA will also perform a variety of procedures including laceration repair, I&D, lumbar puncture, paracentesis, and ultrasound-guided access.
• Reassessment, escalation of care when needed, and timely disposition are central to the role.

• Our practice is unique in that we have the benefits of a teaching institution with a multitude of practice supporting education as well as a variety of research opportunities.
• We see patients that are unique to an academic center as well as those common to community hospitals.
• Mayo Clinic values the skills and expertise of the NP/PA in Emergency Medicine and observation care.
• We look forward to adding a physician assistant or nurse practitioner to our EDOU team practice.
• Join a positive, patient-focused environment where you and the physicians become partners and mutual advisors.
• With supervision and management by both physicians and other NPs and PAs, you’re supported by people who understand your professional needs and goals.
