Nurse Practitioner - Primary Care (FNP)

We are seeking a Full-time Nurse Practitioner (Family / Primary Care) to help launch our first clinic in the Fairfax, Virginia area. This role is ideal for the NP who enjoys practicing at the top of his/her license, values flexibility, and is energized by being part of a growing practice.

In the early stages, this role will combine direct patient care with light participation in practice ramp-up activities – working alongside our operations team to help shape workflows, patient experience, and care delivery as the clinic grows. Over time, there is a clear pathway for increased clinical leadership and potential future clinic ownership if interested.

What You’ll Do: Clinical Care

• Deliver high-quality, patient-centered primary care for adults, adolescents, and children
• Evaluate and manage acute illnesses, minor injuries, and common chronic conditions
• Order and interpret diagnostics; prescribe and manage medications
• Perform appropriate in-scope procedures and arrange follow-up care
