Responsibilities include coordinating care delivery processes, monitoring performance metrics, fostering team communication, and serving as a key liaison between staff, leadership, and external partners.

• In clinical collaboration with the attending physician, provide day-to-day organizational and clinical direction and leadership of the healthcare team.
• Perform comprehensive history and physical assessment for patients admitted or scheduled to service or practice setting.
• Order, obtain, and interpret appropriate diagnostic tests.
• Establish a medical diagnosis based on history, assessment, and diagnostic findings, with MD collaboration as needed.
• Design, order, and document appropriate treatment plans and plans of care, including prescriptions of medications based on a comprehensive review of HPI and diagnostic results, with MD collaboration as needed.
• Initiate protocols and clinical pathways, evaluate the plan of care ensuring timely intervention.
• Collaborate with attending and residents.
• Present patients in chart rounds.

• Current licensure as a Nurse Practitioner in the state of Maryland.
• Certification as a Nurse Practitioner by an accredited national certifying body (e.g., AANP, ANCC).
