Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant - Emergency Medicine

Caring for 33,000 patients per year, the Mankato Hospital Emergency Department is Mayo Clinic’s Southwest Minnesota regional hub site and is a level 3 trauma center. The Mankato site is the main training/orientation site for Mayo Clinic’s EM NP/PAs within the region. NP/PAs provides 24/7 practice coverage alongside their physician colleagues. The NP/PA serves as an independent provider, collaborates with physicians and works with a variety of other healthcare professionals. The NP/PA will provide comprehensive assessment, diagnosis, ordering, conducting and interpreting diagnostic tests, prescription of pharmacological agents, and patient education. The NP/PA will also perform a variety of procedures including laceration repair, I&D, lumbar puncture, intubation, non-invasive airway management, fracture reductions, procedural sedation, critical care management, etc with opportunities to work in solo practice at critical access hospitals. Our practice is unique in that we start with an onboarding process that assesses your skillset in order to provide the proper training that’s tailored specifically to you. Mayo Clinic values the skills and expertise of the NP/PA in Emergency Medicine and our goal is for you to be able to practice safely and confidently as a sole provider in one of our critical access hospitals. We look forward to adding a physician assistant or nurse practitioner to our Emergency Department team practice. 

Join a positive, patient-focused environment where you and the physicians become partners and mutual advisors. With supervision and management by both physicians and other NP/PAs, you’re supported by people who understand your professional needs and goals!
