PAA Careers

Anesthesiologist: Employee Track

Our employees are an important part of our team. Based upon the needs and interests of the individual along with the needs of the group, these positions may be full-time or part-time. Typically employees do weekday work only with no call, however, options for shift work, night float or positions with limited call can be arranged. Physician employees are eligible to participate in all benefit plans offered to comparable employees.

Anesthesiologist Employee Position: Office-Based Anesthesia (OBA)

Our office-based physician employees are an integral part of this growing division of our practice. Our Mobile team provides a comprehensive, perioperative solution for physicians and dentists, allowing our surgical peers to safely and efficiently perform procedures in the office setting.

PAA Mobile offers OBA clients hospital grade care, but without the hospital. Our model is similar to that of a traveling surgery center; we provide all of the same medications, supplies and equipment available within any hospital system or ASC.

No evening or weekend OBA coverage required.

OBA coverage includes but is not limited to: Charlotte, Raleigh, Asheville, Greensboro, Jacksonville, and Wilmington.

Candidates must be willing to drive to our various locations within their metro area and work independently in the office-based or ASC setting.

Anesthesiologist Junior Partnership/Partnership Track

Each Junior Partner goes through the same Partnership track. The specific breakdown of pay during the first two years depends on the Junior Partner’s prior experience. After two (2) years, the Junior Partner is paid equivalent to a Partner (100% of our Profit Participation formula). Junior Partners are eligible for full Partnership with voting privileges after three (3) years.

Successful partnership track candidates typically have fellowship training and/or additional practice experience after residency. Leadership qualities, former leadership positions, and other value-added experiences (MBA, MPH, etc.) are also looked upon favorably. Junior Partners and Partners positions are full-time with all of the associated call responsibilities. In addition to required clinical time, Junior Partners and Partners are expected to make significant nonclinical contributions to the group. All Partners have an equal ownership share of PAA, and as such, must participate in all that is involved with the management and overall continued progress and growth of the group.
