The USC Caruso Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery at the Keck School of Medicine is seeking an outstanding Physician Assistant who will join our team.

This position will primarily support our inpatient service at the Keck Hospital, including inpatient care of post-operative patients and inpatient consults. However, it will also involve some outpatient ENT clinic responsibilities, such as pre-op H&Ps, post-op visits, and general ENT patient care. This position handles cases that are primarily head and neck cancer, sleep disorders, airway, and acoustic neuroma, but the full spectrum of ENT specialties is represented, and cases can include thyroid, laryngology, rhinology, otology, and facial plastics.

• Coordinate ongoing overall patient care with physician staff, nursing staff, and other ancillary care providers to ensure treatment plans are implemented
• Assist or perform bedside procedures within the scope of service
• Maintain communication with patients and families regarding care
