------------------------ OR Coverage: No, this position does not include OR coverage.

It is strictly 100% inpatient floor coverage.

A primary care NP with limited neurosurgical experience would not meet the requirements for this role.

At times it may be a 50/50 split between spinal and cranial cases, though this can fluctuate based on surgical volume and patient needs.

Licensure: We are open to considering providers who are willing to obtain a Montana license.

We understand the licensing process typically takes 4???5 weeks.

Call Schedule: There is no call requirement for this role.

ICU Responsibilities: Yes, the provider will have responsibilities in the MICU, SICU, and ED, so experience in neurocritical care is essential.

Ideal Candidate Profile: This is not an internal medicine-focused role.

We are looking for a neurosurgery PA/NP who has robust experience in neurosurgical patient management, especially post-operative care and ICU-level acuity.
