**List of recent PA openings**. Note: NP openings are included in this
listing because often times a conversation with the clinical director
regarding the matching skills of a PA does lead to an announcement for
PA openings. Do not hesitate to contact the facility's clinical
director.

There are a lot more jobs on the website. To access the actual contact
information and job descriptions go to:

Additional questions? Contact: <Frances.Placide@ihs.gov>

**Suggestions:**

1.  For all jobs, call facility and ask to speak with the Clinical
    Director

2.  For NP job listings, review the state laws on PA supervision (often
    the argument is that PAs need 1-1 supervision when in fact the state
    law may allow for remote supervision.

3.  When a civil service listing has NP salary higher than PA (for the
    same job), consider requesting recruitment bonus to make up the
    difference.
