Advanced Practice Provider (Physician Assistant or Nurse Practitioner)
Lock Haven University | Student Health
UPMC is seeking an Advanced Practice Provider (Physician Assistant/PA or Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner/CRNP) to join our Student Health team at Lock Haven University. This role offers a unique outpatient-focused experience delivering care to a college student population, with a blend of in-person visits and virtual support for students at Mansfield and Bloomsburg Universities.
This is an excellent opportunity for providers who enjoy a predictable schedule, value work-life balance, and are passionate about supporting the health and well-being of young adults in an academic setting.
