Are you a passionate and dedicated Physician Assistant looking to transform Dermatology in New Mexico? The Department of Dermatology is in search for a skilled Physician Assistant Practitioner Educator with Dermatology experience to become an integral part of our dynamic and diverse team.
As a Physician Assistant Practitioner Educator in the UNM Department of Dermatology, responsibilities will include:
* Performing thorough patient assessments, diagnosing and developing individualized treatment plans. * Administering treatment medications and procedures with precision and compassion. * Educating patients on their conditions, treatment options and self-care strategies. * In coordination with Chair and UNMH Dermatology Clinic Medical Director, maintain clinical documentation in accordance with Medical Staff policy.
We serve a large, truly diverse, and medically complex patient population. As the only academic health center/flagship institution for the entire state, we are the consultative resource for Dermatology in New Mexico (population 2.2 million) and also serve the Four Corners region of the Southwest. Our population is uniquely multicultural and multilingual, with 22 American Indian tribes and nations (11-12% census population as of 2021) as well as vibrant Hispanic/Latinx (50%), African American (3%), and Asian American (2%) communities. We are also the only inpatient consult service in the state, therefore we run a very consistently busy inpatient service with resident coverage.
Due to low numbers of practicing specialists especially in rural areas of NM, our faculty and trainees see the entire spectrum of clinical dermatology, including but not limited to: general and pediatric dermatology, Mohs surgery/cutaneous oncology, dermatopathology, aesthetics, and complex inpatient/medical dermatology. Our main UNM Hospital Dermatology Clinic site offers phototherapy and lasers, and the Department/training program has a strong partnership with the local VA Medical Center and Dermatopathology.
At the UNM Department of Dermatology, we pride ourselves in our excellence and commitment to all mission areas, training residents to practice at their highest level and offering robust clinical exposure, high-quality education/professional development, research opportunities and a longstanding dedication to community engagement and diversity/equity/inclusivity and belonging.
