Advanced Practice Provider (NP/PA/APP) Dermatology

Join a high-demand dermatology practice where your clinical judgment, procedural skill, and commitment to patient access can make an immediate and meaningful difference. This is an opportunity to build or deepen expertise in a specialty that blends diagnostic complexity, hands-on procedures, longitudinal patient relationships, and collaborative academic medicine.

UVA Health is seeking an Advanced Practice Provider to join the Dermatology team in Charlottesville, Virginia. This role is ideal for an NP or PA who is energized by specialty learning, enjoys procedural clinical work, and wants a structured pathway toward greater independence in practice. You will work alongside engaged dermatologists, APP colleagues, medical assistants, dermatology assistants, and consulting specialists while caring for patients ages 13 and older across a diverse range of dermatologic needs.

The Role

This is a highly procedural dermatology APP opportunity within a busy and growing practice that is expanding access for patients with significant dermatologic care needs. You will evaluate and manage patients, participate in procedural training, review clinical and pathology results, communicate treatment plans, and develop increasing independence through a thoughtful onboarding and competency-based training model.

The role offers a structured 12 to 24 month ramp-up period designed to support success. Early months focus on didactic education, shadowing, workflow immersion, and dermatology fundamentals. Over time, you will progress into supervised procedures, lower-volume clinics, expanded procedural competency, independent clinic templates, and potential opportunities to support off-site locations as your practice matures.

In an average day, you may:

• Evaluate and treat dermatology patients ages 13 and older, from routine concerns to more complex conditions.

• Perform dermatologic procedures as your training, confidence, and competency develop.

• Work closely with dermatologists and APP colleagues to support high-quality, team-based care.

• Review pathology findings and clinical results, then communicate next steps and treatment plans to patients.

• Guide and collaborate with medical assistants and dermatology assistants in daily clinic flow.

• Recognize when physician consultation is needed and engage the right expertise at the right time.

• Participate in ongoing education, specialty training, and progressive clinical development.

• Help meet a meaningful access need in a specialty where patient demand is substantial.
