Telehealth Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant (Remote) - Delaware License

About the Role 

Clinicians are a critical part of our care team at Ophelia. As an Advanced Practice Practitioner, you will provide clinical care to patients receiving medication for opioid use disorder and a narrow suite of mental health conditions (depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc…).

You’ll work closely alongside other clinicians, triage nurses, and administrative care coordinators to deliver compassionate, evidence-based treatment to patients with OUD.

Our Clinicians offer compassionate, non-stigmatizing support for patients, act as a liaison and advocate for them, and ensure patients receive appropriate care as their needs evolve. Depending on role type, clinicians conduct Intake visits and/or follow-up visits, and work within a team-based approach model of care to deliver high quality care to our patients. We have multiple different clinical role types depending on your experience with MOUD, and through our team-based model of care we provide a strong support system to ensure that you and our patients feel comfortable and supported. 

Our patient care hours are Monday - Friday 9-7pm and Saturday and Sunday 9-5pm, with our weekend coverage provided only by our most experienced providers! We will work with you to determine your ideal schedule within these hours. 

The ideal candidate is an APP who: 

• Has a passion for serving vulnerable populations, and;
• Either has previous experience caring for individuals with OUD, or willing to learn the clinical skills needed to provide MOUD through a telehealth platform
• Is looking for full time work in a fast-paced, innovative start-up that values patient-centered care 

No experience with MOUD is required for this role: we will teach you what you need to know!

In this role you will be responsible for:

• Treatment Plans: determine individualized treatment plans for patients; facilitate changes to treatment plans when patients are not improving as expected, either independently or consulting with a more experienced provider.
• Behavioral Interventions: use motivational interviewing, behavioral activation and other behavioral interventions as needed to motivate patients to remain in care and adherent to their treatment plan. Conduct behavioral health / psych evals for the suite of psych services we treat (depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.)
• Monitor/Medication Management: systematically track treatment response and monitor patients for changes in clinical symptoms and side effects, treatment adherence, the effectiveness of treatment or complications, and prescribe or queue the appropriate medications
• Education: provide patient education on OUD and MOUD
• Charting: Document all patient encounters in Ophelia’s EHR in a timely and high quality manner
