The Medical College of Wisconsin's Department of Medicine, Division of General Internal Medicine, is seeking a Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant to join the Primary Care Outpatient Services at Froedtert Hospital Specialty Clinics in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The APP will function as a member of a multidisciplinary team and contribute to excellence in patient care, safety, research, quality improvement, teaching, and program administration.

Our Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) work closely with physicians to deliver coordinated, team-based care! Join a group that provides comprehensive outpatient services grounded in scientific knowledge, clinical expertise, and compassionate care for adults-including those with multiple chronic medical conditions.

We also support patients with chronic illnesses by coordinating care with specialty providers. Through collaboration with nursing staff, social workers, and community health workers, we deliver comprehensive and coordinated care.

The ideal candidate is an experienced Primary Care APP who seeks to work in a collaborative academic environment. The APP should have a strong interest in providing primary care for complex adult patients with multiple chronic diseases, including cancer or obesity and in supporting patients through transitions of care from the inpatient to the outpatient setting.
