Jacksonville, FL • On-site

Part-time

Re-posted 3 days ago


Job description

Benefits:
  • Bonus based on performance
  • Competitive salary
  • Flexible schedule
  • Help or transport service

We are Advanced Surgical Mobile Eye Care and are seeking a part-time Physician Assistant specializing in the 3 Os (Optical, Optometry and Ophthalmology). We are a successful, 27-year-old company practicing the 3 Os by traveling to local nursing homes in these areas of Florida: Daytona, Jacksonville, St. Petersburg, Tampa, Lakeland, Orlando, and Sarasota. We are seeking a Physician Assistant for the Gainesville, Jacksonville, and St. Augustine areas.
This is the perfect opportunity for someone interested in practicing ocular and vision care in nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
Imagine you can practice the 3 Os (Optical, Optometry and Ophthalmology) for patients who truly need eye care and who cannot advocate for themselves. This group of patients often gradually lose their eyesight and/or have eye infections unnoticed by staff or poorly treated by their nurses. They have a high rate of glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, blepharitis, and a plethora of other eye diseases. These patients often greet you with a big smile when their eyeglasses are dispensed. We are equipped with portable OCT, fundus camera, B-scan, and visual fields to diagnose and monitor eye diseases. 
If you are compassionate and love ocular pathology, you would be a perfect match for this mode of practice compared to conventional practices.
Other pertinent details:
  • The Physician Assistant will provide ophthalmic/optometric patient care in nursing homes and assisted living facilities under the supervision of an ophthalmologist.
  • Perform and assist with ophthalmological procedures such as biopsies, lumps and bumps, tear duct plugs, and eyelids surgeries.
  • An ophthalmic technician is available to locate patients, perform preliminaries, and optical services.
  • A scribe is available for EHR/EMR by EyeFinity.
  • All portable optometric equipment is provided, and you will be trained in the ophthalmic field.
  • Pay: $400–$550 per day with an option of earning bonuses.  Paid as a 1099‑MISC contractor. We reimburse mileage for travel beyond 50 miles per day.
  • There are no weekends. Flexibility to work 2-4 days a week with most days being less than 8 hours per day.
  • Master’s degree as a Physician Assistant and licensed to practice in the state of Florida is required.
  • Background in optical, optometry or ophthalmology is a plus but not required.  We recommend that during training and development, the Physician Assistant obtains COA or COT certification as in https://www.jcahpo.org/certification/certifications/
