Advanced Practice Provider (NP/PA/APP) Pediatric Otolaryngology

Join a growing pediatric subspecialty practice where your clinical judgment, procedural curiosity, and commitment to children and families can make a direct impact every day.

UVA Health is seeking an Advanced Practice Provider to join Pediatric Otolaryngology, a busy, high-volume pediatric ENT practice within an academic medical center. This is an opportunity to build deep specialty expertise, work closely with pediatric ENT surgeons and APP colleagues, and help children and families navigate common and complex otolaryngology needs with confidence, compassion, and clinical excellence.

The Role

In this ambulatory APP role, you will evaluate and manage pediatric patients with a range of otolaryngology conditions in a collaborative, specialty-focused clinic environment. You will be part of a team that values thoughtful assessment, efficient clinical flow, strong communication, and patient and family-centered care.

This position is especially well-suited for an APP who enjoys pediatric care, wants to grow within a subspecialty, and is energized by a practice setting that combines high patient volume, procedural learning, and close partnership with surgeons. This is primarily a daytime, ambulatory clinic opportunity, with future potential to evolve into a more hybrid role that may include inpatient responsibilities alongside another APP.

In an average day, you may:

• Independently evaluate pediatric ENT patients, perform histories and physical examinations, and develop treatment plans.

• Diagnose and treat common pediatric otolaryngology conditions in the ambulatory clinic setting.

• Identify patients who may require surgical intervention and help facilitate timely progression to surgery when appropriate.

• Perform and interpret diagnostic tests and office-based procedures within scope.

• Learn and develop procedural skills such as nasal cauterizations, foreign body removals, and other common ENT procedures.

• Maintain accurate, timely EHR documentation and support clinic throughput, productivity, and quality goals.

• Contribute to quality improvement and the continued growth of the pediatric ENT service line.
