Job Description

Job Title: Physician Assistant – Endoscopy Unit
Location: Tufts Medical Center, Boston, MA
Position Type: Full-Time

Overview

Tufts Medical Center’s Division of Gastroenterology is seeking a Physician Assistant (PA) to join the Endoscopy team. This unique role combines direct clinical responsibilities with administrative and care coordination duties to ensure high-quality patient care, smooth referral pathways, and efficient endoscopy unit operations. The PA will work closely with supervising physicians, the triage nurse, schedulers, and nursing/technical staff, while also serving as a resource for patients and referring providers.

Clinical Duties

  • Review upcoming procedures for indications, contraindications, and appropriateness; discuss concerns with supervising or referring physicians.

  • Provide routine prescriptions for colonoscopy preparation and refill GI medications as appropriate.

  • Inform patients of biopsy results when the endoscopist is unavailable, ensuring adherence to established timelines.

  • Coordinate follow-up care resulting from procedural findings, including management of new diagnoses (e.g., malignancy) in collaboration with supervising physicians.

  • Maintain a designated face-to-face or virtual clinic for pre-endoscopy evaluation and treatment planning under staff supervision, as directed by the GI service.

  • Serve as a consultant to GI nursing and technical staff regarding endoscopy-related questions or problems.

  • Educate patients about their planned endoscopic procedures and provide post-procedure counseling when needed.

  • Participate in educational activities, including teaching and trainee supervision, as appropriate.

Administrative and Programmatic Duties

  • Assist supervising physician and triage nurse in reviewing endoscopy orders and referrals and liaise with endoscopy schedulers to ensure timely scheduling of procedures.

  • Support development of a streamlined, standardized endoscopy referral process.

  • Participate in reviewing and triaging GI referrals (outpatient and inpatient) for disposition (clinic evaluation versus direct-to-endoscopy).

  • Contact referring providers to obtain medical records and discuss medication holds as needed.

  • Assist in developing and updating patient education materials, pre-procedure instructions, and clinical protocols.

  • Perform other duties as assigned by the Director of Endoscopy.

  • Contribute to research activities within the division, if applicable.
