We are looking for a PA who is passionate about empowering teens navigating behavioral health challenges.

• Academic Exposure: Leverage strong partnerships with Duke, UNC, and NC State to stay current on best practices and mentor future clinicians.
• Stability & Pay: Enjoy a reliable Full-Time, 32-hour work week (M–F, on-site) with competitive pay: $72,000 – $149,000/year (or up to $90/hour ).

Your Impact:

• Conduct comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and maintain ongoing clinical oversight for teens in PHP/IOP settings.
• Act as a clinical anchor, collaborating seamlessly with the multidisciplinary team on individualized treatment plans.
• Apply expertise in crisis stabilization and participate in the in-house crisis hotline rotation.

The Must-Haves (New Grads Encouraged):

You hold an active Physician Assistant license in North Carolina and are comfortable in a family-focused, team-based clinical setting. Experience working with adolescent psychiatric populations (ages 12–18) is strongly preferred.
