Primary Care Physician Assistant (PA), $100-118K, 4.5-Day Week, No Call, No Weekends, Fayetteville

If you became a clinician to actually know your patients, not to document and move on, Rapha Health was built for you. We are a mission-driven, independent primary care practice seeking a full-time Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant to join our onsite team immediately.

Quick Facts

Why This Role

This role is built for clinicians who want to know their patients by name. It is a long-term role for a clinician who wants to put down roots, build real patient relationships, and practice medicine the way they envisioned it in school. It is not the right fit if you are looking for a high-volume shift-based model or a short-term position before relocating.

• Provide comprehensive primary care to adult and family medicine patients
• Diagnose, treat, and manage acute and chronic medical conditions
• Deliver preventive, whole-person, relationship-based care
• Perform basic clinical procedures and diagnostics including X-ray, ultrasound, and EKG
• Document encounters accurately in eClinicalWorks
• Collaborate with physicians, NPs, PAs, and clinical staff
• Contribute to workflow and practice improvement as a valued team member

Why This Practice

Most healthcare employers will offer you a larger salary. What they cannot offer you is time: time with your patients, autonomy over your clinical decisions, and a team that values your voice in how care is delivered.

• Clinical independence and freedom from productivity quotas
• Meaningful appointment time designed for whole-person, relationship-based care
• Direct input into workflows, operations, and how the practice grows
• A stable, supportive team that respects your judgment
• No non-compete restrictions, ever

Founded by Daniel C. Uba, Rapha Health has served the Fayetteville community since 2012. We operate on a biopsychosocial model of care, treating the full person, not just the chief complaint. Our practice of approximately 6,000 active patients reflects the diversity of Fayetteville itself: families, elderly patients, veterans and military households from the Fort Liberty community, individuals managing complex chronic conditions, and patients who have historically lacked access to consistent, high-quality primary care. Serving this population is why we exist.

Our team includes three providers supported by a full clinical staff. Physicians are available for consultation and collaboration daily. The oversight model here is designed to support your practice, not constrain it.

• About 25 patients per day with 15-minute appointments and a fully supported clinical team
• 6,000 active patients, with an emphasis on continuity and long-term relationships
• Modern clinical space with on-site diagnostics and capacity for growth
• A supportive, provider-focused culture where clinicians have direct input into how care is delivered
