Nurse Practitioner - Podiatry

Our growing foot and ankle clinics in scenic Idaho Falls and Rexburg is seeking a part-time Nurse Practitioner to become a part of our Foot & Ankle team! You will focus on providing high quality patient care as part of a healthcare team. You will primarily be evaluating and treating patients for their periodic "at-risk" foot care including diabetic foot exams, toenail and callus debridements. Our clinic has accumulated a large base of patients needing this care and it is becoming increasingly difficult for the existing providers to provide these services in a timely manner for our patients. We seek a personable and caring provider that has the special ability to connect with our older patient population, and help them feel well taken care of. Overall this is a low stress, low intensity and fairly "automatic" job. Come spend time time providing a needed service to our wonderful patients. Many podiatry clinics in our area have stopped providing these services, so it has become more and more difficult for our Elderly patients to get the routine foot care that they so desperately need. This job would be perfect for either a semi-retired Nurse Practitioner that still would like to earn a little income, or perhaps a newer Nurse Practitioner that is looking to supplement their income as they grow their career.
