Job Description

Every Child Pediatrics is currently looking for an experienced, board-certified Advanced Practice Professional (Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant) to work at our School-Based Health Centers (SBHCs) part-time or full-time (16-32 hours per week). Our SBHCs are critical health resources designated to see Aurora Public School District students and their siblings (ages birth through 18). Our SBHCs offer medical, behavioral, and dental health services in addition to connecting families to community resources. The ideal candidate has a passion for working with low-income children, adolescents, and immigrant families. Daily patient volume is lower than in a traditional pediatric clinic to ensure clinicians can meet the complex needs of these high-risk youth. At Every Child Pediatrics, no child is ever turned away due to insurance status or the inability to pay, so our providers are empowered to invest in the lives of these children and make a lasting impact through long-term primary care relationships.

• Remain up to date with AAP guidelines and follow trauma-informed care principles and clinical best practices
• Work with and direct clinical staff on triage, care management, and refill requests
• Maintain friendly and professional work relationships with a small, multidisciplinary staff

Requirements

• Graduation from an accredited Physician Assistant or Pediatric or Family Nurse Practitioner program
• Current Colorado resident with a PA/NP Colorado License (DORA)
• Current Federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) number
• Sufficient pediatric primary care or family practice experience to feel comfortable working as an independent/solo provider in clinic
• Competency in pediatric primary care services, including vaccine schedules, history collection, physical examination, adolescent screenings, ordering and interpreting evidence-based diagnostic tests, and managing common pediatric primary care diagnoses

• Support the mission, values, and vision of Every Child Pediatrics while working with our diverse low income and/or immigrant population
