Penobscot Community Health Care·Belfast, Maine
Provide outpatient primary care services within an integrated medical home environment. Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to deliver high-quality healthcare to a diverse patient population.
On June 16, 2025, Maine enacted LD 1166, "An Act to Change the Professional Title and Identification of Physician Assistants to Physician Associates." This law changes the title only. The law, however, does not change scope of practice, licensure process, supervision, or billing.
The position is planned for in-person, full-time 40 hours per week, with 34 patient contact hours. Hours may be split between four or five days per week, depending on provider preference.
