The Role
As a PA/NP at our clinic, you will work directly alongside Dr. Chakeer and our existing NP to provide exceptional, continuous patient care. Our clinical workflow is highly collaborative: Dr. Chakeer personally conducts all initial evaluations and establishes each patient's comprehensive, personalized weight management plan.

Order, review, and interpret follow-up laboratory tests and diagnostic studies relevant to metabolic health.

Provide continuous education, counseling, and encouragement regarding nutrition, exercise, and behavior modification.

Monitor patient progress through regular clinic visits, adjusting treatment approaches as needed in collaboration with Dr. Chakeer.

Maintain accurate, timely, and detailed patient records within the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system.

Collaborate effectively with Dr. Chakeer, our current NP, administrative staff, and medical assistants to ensure seamless patient care.

Qualifications & Requirements
Active, unencumbered license as a Physician Assistant or Nurse Practitioner in the state of Illinois.

Valid DEA registration (or ability to obtain one).

Experience in weight management, endocrinology, internal medicine, or family practice is highly preferred.

Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with a non-judgmental and empathetic approach to patient care.

Strong clinical decision-making skills, a collaborative mindset, and the ability to thrive in a high-volume clinical setting alongside fellow providers.

We believe in taking care of the providers who take care of our patients. Our comprehensive benefits package includes:

Competitive Compensation.

Health Insurance: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage.

Paid Time Off: Generous paid vacation and sick leave to support your work-life balance.
