Physiatry (PM&R) Nurse Practitioner / Physician Assistant (Chico)

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

As a physiatrist, you will round at 1–3 Skilled Nursing Facilities or similar rehabilitation centers, 1–3 days per week at each location. Your primary focus will be delivering specialized physiatry care to 25+ patients per day who are experiencing difficulty participating in therapy due to pain or functional limitations.

• Performing focused assessments and developing individualized treatment plans in collaboration with facility primary care teams to optimize therapy participation and functional recovery.
• Providing targeted interventions such as joint injections, Botox treatments, dry needling, and medication management based on patient-specific needs.
• Serving as the sole physiatrist on-site, operating with a high level of autonomy while supported by a collaborative clinical team for consultation as needed.
• Coordinating care and referring to other specialties or services for issues beyond the scope of physiatry.

This role is best suited for a self‑motivated and confident clinician who thrives in independent practice environments and is passionate about improving rehabilitation outcomes.

• Current, unrestricted PA or NP license.
• DEA licensed or willing to obtain DEA licensure.
• Experience in nursing homes and/or physiatry is a plus, but not required.
• Comfort and interest in performing peripheral joint injections (knees, shoulders, hips).
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams.
• Familiarity with EHR charting.

• Hands‑on training in facility settings to ensure consistent, high‑quality care.
• Flexible 5‑day workweek with flexible hours. Weekends optional, no nights or on‑call shifts.
• Valuable experience in joint injections and rehabilitation care.
• Competitive salary and bonus structure (starting at $130,000+/year).
• Comprehensive benefits package: medical, dental, vision, life insurance (Iconic Care covers a $50K policy with the option to add additional coverage), and AD&D insurance.
• 18 PTO Days and 6 paid federal holidays – 24 total paid days off.
• Paid malpractice insurance ($1M/$3M policy).
• License renewal allowance (up to $1100/year).
• Set patient load, with focused consulting visits for 23‑25 patients/day after ramp‑up.
• Full autonomy in patient care with direct impact on patient outcomes at multiple facilities.
