University Gastroenterology (UGI) in Providence, Rhode Island is recruiting a Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant to join its physician-led gastroenterology practice operating across both clinic and hospital settings. UGI is part of GI Alliance, the nation's largest physician-led GI network, giving APPs access to national-scale clinical infrastructure, analytics, and operational support while practicing in a dynamic private practice environment. This is a strong opportunity for an APP with GI experience — or a motivated clinician ready to build deep subspecialty expertise — in a practice model explicitly designed to keep clinical decision-making with the clinicians who deliver care.
