About the Role
Progress Weight Management is hiring a Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant to provide obesity medicine and medical weight management care in Fargo.
You will work with patients living with obesity and weight-related health conditions. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, you will look at each patient’s health history, medications, lab results, symptoms and goals to create an individualized treatment plan.
This role is a good fit for a provider who wants to build long-term patient relationships, develop specialized knowledge in obesity medicine and help patients understand their treatment options without judgment or shame.
Experience in weight management, endocrinology or primary care is helpful, but it is not required. We are open to a strong clinician who wants to grow in this area.
What You’ll Do
Provide individualized medical care for patients living with excess weight, obesity and related health conditions
Evaluate and manage anti-obesity medications, including GLP-1 medications
Adjust treatment based on patient response, side effects, medical history and changing needs
Order and interpret laboratory tests and diagnostic studies
Educate patients about medications, lifestyle changes, medical options, surgical options and long-term weight management
Monitor patient progress and update treatment plans as needed
Collaborate with other healthcare professionals and refer patients for additional support when appropriate
Maintain accurate and timely documentation in the electronic medical record
Follow HIPAA requirements and clinical standards
Who We’re Looking For
You see obesity as a complex medical condition, not a lack of effort or willpower. You listen before making assumptions and can explain medical information in a way patients can understand.
You have strong clinical judgment and feel comfortable managing chronic health conditions, reviewing lab results and adjusting treatment plans. You also enjoy working with a team and continuing to build your knowledge.
You may already have experience prescribing anti-obesity medications, or you may be ready to develop that skill with education and support.
Qualifications
Current Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant license in North Dakota
Current Minnesota license or willingness to obtain one
Master’s or doctoral degree in nursing, or graduation from an accredited physician assistant program
Current national certification as an NP or PA-C
Strong clinical judgment and commitment to evidence-based care
Experience in weight management, endocrinology or primary care preferred, but not required
Experience with electronic medical records preferred
Willingness to complete additional education or certification through the Obesity Medicine Association within one year of hire
Physical Requirements
Ability to sit, stand, walk and bend throughout the workday
Ability to assist patients and lift up to 25 pounds when needed
