Physician Assistant Practitioner Educator-Dermatology

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.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Current NCCPA certification.
• Eligible for medical licensure in NM.
• Eligible for State of New Mexico Board of Pharmacy certification and federal DEA registration.
• 3-5 Years Work Experience in Medical Dermatology.
• Must be eligible to work in the U.S.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Demonstrated interest, experience/excellence in medical dermatology.
• A demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity,
  inclusion, and student success, as well as working with broadly diverse
  communities.
• Demonstrated on experiences that are in alignment with UNM School of Medicine key mission areas (Education, Research, Clinical Care, Community Engagement).
• Demonstrated experience/excellence in teaching
  and mentoring learners of various backgrounds.
