Rheumatology & Lifestyle Medicine NP/PA
Rheumatology & Lifestyle Medicine Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant — Physician-Led Private Practice — Midlothian, VA
Advanced Arthritis & Rheumatology Care (AARC), an established physician-owned rheumatology practice in Midlothian, Virginia, is seeking an experienced Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant to join our growing outpatient practice. This is an opportunity to develop a unique clinical role that combines rheumatology, autoimmune disease, and musculoskeletal medicine with physician-directed lifestyle and wellness care — rather than a conventional, high-volume rheumatology NP/PA position.
The Role
• Evaluation and management of rheumatology patients, including follow-up care for inflammatory and autoimmune disease and common musculoskeletal conditions
• Review and interpretation of labs/imaging, medication management and monitoring, patient education and counseling
• Collaboration directly with the supervising rheumatologist; participation in infusion and specialty-care workflows as appropriate
• Physician-directed lifestyle and wellness medicine — weight management, metabolic health, and nutrition/lifestyle counseling, with the opportunity to help build this growing service line
Required
• Current Nurse Practitioner license eligible for practice in Virginia
• Graduate of an accredited NP program with current national board certification
• Excellent clinical assessment and communication skills; strong interest in longitudinal outpatient care
Preferred
• Rheumatology, autoimmune, or infusion-center experience
• Internal medicine, family medicine, or musculoskeletal/chronic-pain experience
• Interest or experience in lifestyle medicine, obesity medicine, metabolic health, or wellness
We are particularly interested in an experienced rheumatology NP, but will consider an exceptional candidate from another outpatient specialty who demonstrates strong clinical judgment and a genuine interest in learning rheumatology.
What We Offer
• Established, physician-owned private practice with direct physician mentorship
• Outpatient-only — no hospital rounding, no inpatient call
• Competitive range salary of $125,000-135,000 , plus productivity and wellness incentives — experienced APPs may earn $145,000–$205,000+ depending on clinical production
• CME allowance and paid CME days, retirement plan match, employer-paid malpractice coverage, PTO
To apply: submit your CV and a brief statement describing your rheumatology (or related) experience and your interest in lifestyle/wellness medicine to appemployment@rvaarthritis.com
