About the Role

Preventive Cardiology & Primary Care is seeking a part-time Nurse Practitioner to join our growing outpatient private practice in Warwick, Rhode Island.

This is an excellent opportunity for an NP who enjoys primary care, preventive medicine, chronic disease management, patient education, and building long-term relationships with patients. The role is designed to start part-time, with the goal of expanding over time as the practice grows and patient volume supports additional clinical hours.

We are a small, patient-centered practice focused on adult primary care, preventive cardiology, cardiometabolic risk reduction, chronic disease management, and preventive health. This position is ideal for a clinician who values thoughtful outpatient care, direct communication with practice leadership, and the opportunity to help shape a growing practice.

Why This Role May Be a Good Fit

• This position offers:
• Flexible part-time hours to start
• Outpatient-only private practice setting
• No hospital rounding
• No nights
• No weekends
• No on-call unless mutually agreed
• Independent NP practice environment under Rhode Island NP practice authority
• No required physician supervision or formal physician collaborative agreement
• Direct communication with practice leadership
• Supportive small-practice environment
• Opportunity to help grow the primary care and preventive health side of the practice
• Potential to increase hours over time as patient volume grows
• Potential productivity incentive after the introductory evaluation period

Clinical Focus

• The Nurse Practitioner will provide outpatient adult primary care and preventive health services, including:
• Adult primary care visits
• Preventive visits and annual physicals
• Medicare Annual Wellness Visits, as applicable
• Chronic disease follow-up and medication management
• Hypertension, diabetes, pre-diabetes, hyperlipidemia, obesity, and cardiometabolic risk management
• Lab review, diagnostic follow-up, and care-plan updates
• Medication refills and medication reconciliation
• Patient education and lifestyle counseling
• Preventive screening coordination
• Breast cancer screening coordination
• Menopause-related primary care concerns
• Referrals and care coordination when clinically appropriate
• Accurate and timely documentation in the EHR
• Collaboration with practice leadership and clinical staff

Interest or experience in women’s preventive health is welcome, including Pap smear / cervical cancer screening workflows, routine birth-control refill management for appropriate patients, breast cancer screening coordination, menopause-related primary care concerns, and cardiometabolic risk in women.

This is not an obstetrics role and does not involve hospital work, prenatal care, delivery care, or inpatient responsibilities.

Schedule and Growth Path

The position is expected to start at approximately 16–24 hours per week. The exact schedule will depend on candidate availability, clinic needs, onboarding timeline, payer credentialing, and patient volume.

Our goal is to grow this role over time. Candidates should be open to increasing clinical hours if patient volume, schedule demand, clinical fit, and mutual interest support expansion. Any increase in hours, including movement toward full-time, would be discussed collaboratively and would depend on practice growth and mutual agreement.

Compensation

Compensation is $65–$68/hour W-2, based on experience, certification, relevant outpatient primary care background, schedule availability, and overall fit.

After the introductory evaluation period, the Nurse Practitioner may become eligible for a productivity incentive based on completed patient-care volume, documentation quality, schedule utilization, and practice growth. Any productivity incentive would be structured to support appropriate, ethical, patient-centered care.
