Intensive Outpatient Clinic (IOC) – Nurse Practitioner

Meaningful Care For People Who Need It Most

University of Utah Health is seeking a Nurse Practitioner (NP) or Physician Assistant (PA) to join the Intensive Outpatient Clinic (IOC), a team‑based clinic serving individuals with complex medical and psychosocial needs. This is not a traditional outpatient role focused on volume. The IOC operates within a capitated Medicaid model in partnership with University of Utah Health Plans. Our interdisciplinary team brings together medical providers, behavioral health clinicians, and care coordinators to deliver integrated, whole‑person care designed to improve health outcomes and reduce avoidable emergency department visits and hospitalizations.

In 2023, the IOC was recognized by Governor Spencer Cox’s One Utah Health Collaborative for innovation in comprehensive care delivery. The clinic was also featured in the Sundance Film Festival short film Meet Me Where I Am, which highlights the impact of person‑centered, integrated care.

• Provide ambulatory and telehealth care for a complex patient population
• Perform comprehensive history and physical exams
• Manage medications and chronic conditions
• Collaborate closely with behavioral health and care coordination teams
• Participate in case reviews and interdisciplinary planning
• Help improve outcomes for patients who have historically struggled to access effective care
• Contribute to quality improvement and care model development

This is hands‑on clinical work in a setting where teamwork and continuity matter.

The IOC is part of the University of Utah Population Health Center and works closely with primary care, learner clinics, dental services, dermatology, pediatrics, and behavioral health programs to support coordinated care. As we grow, we continue refining our value‑based care model in collaboration with University Health Plans. Clinical care is aligned with measurable outcomes—including reductions in emergency department use, inpatient admissions, and total cost of care.

• Enjoy team‑based care
• Are comfortable working with medically and socially complex patients
• Have interest in trauma‑informed care and substance use disorders
• Value meaningful patient relationships over high‑volume throughput
• Are curious about population health and value‑based care

Dual training (MPH, MBE, or similar) is welcomed but not required. Early‑career clinicians as well as experienced providers are encouraged to apply.

The IOC is located at the University of Utah Population Health Center near Rose Park in Salt Lake City. This is an on‑site clinical role.

• Immediate access to skiing, hiking, climbing, and cycling
• Short commutes and strong work‑life balance
• A growing health and innovation community
• A nationally ranked academic health system
• A cost of living lower than many major metropolitan areas

University of Utah Health is a Level 1 Trauma Center and nationally recognized academic medical center. Here, clinicians work in collaborative teams where their contributions are visible and meaningful.

• Experience in team‑based, integrated care
• Exposure to value‑based Medicaid models
• Opportunity to contribute to innovation and quality improvement
