Physician Assistant Or Nurse Practitioner

Location

Rapid City, SD | Full-Time | No Call / No Weekends / No Holidays

 

Overview

Black Hills Heart and Vascular Institute, a premier private cardiology and vascular medicine group in Rapid City, SD, is seeking an experienced, motivated Physician Assistant or Nurse Practitioner to join our rapidly growing independent practice.

This is a hands-on, procedural Advanced Practice Provider (APP) role — not a pure clinic position. You will work alongside our interventional cardiologists in the outpatient clinic, assist with vascular and cardiovascular procedures in our private ambulatory procedure center, and take full clinical ownership of our active endovenous ablation program. If you are an APP who wants to do more than manage refills and follow-ups, this is a rare opportunity to lead a defined procedural program with real clinical ownership.

 

Why You’ll Love This Job

  • True Procedural Role: Perform and manage the full spectrum of venous insufficiency care (endovenous ablation and sclerotherapy) with full training and physician support provided.
  • Pure Outpatient & No Call: Enjoy a sustainable, predictable schedule with defined clinic hours — no overnight call, no hospital rounding, and no weekends or holidays.
  • Private OBL Advantage: Access an efficient, well-equipped, physician-led procedural environment rarely available to APPs, allowing you to expand your skills alongside top interventionalists.
  • Built for Career Growth: Help expand our venous program across 3 current regional outreach sites (growing to 5 within 2 years) with opportunities to lead satellite clinic days and grow as an organizational leader.
  • Valued Clinical Partner: Work in a collegial, physician-owned, independent environment where your scope is respected and APPs are treated as true partners, not support staff.
  • Exceptional Quality of Life: Enjoy the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota with world-class outdoor recreation, a great climate, and no state income tax.

 

Responsibilities

  • Conduct outpatient cardiology and vascular clinic visits.
  • Assist with cardiovascular and vascular procedures in our private ambulatory procedure center.
  • Lead and manage the venous insufficiency program, performing endovenous laser/RF ablations and sclerotherapy.
  • Manage chronic disease and patient follow-ups.
  • Provide patient education and care coordination.
  • Support regional outreach clinics as the practice expands.

 

Qualifications

  • Certified Physician Assistant (PA-C) or Advanced Practice Registered Nurse / Nurse Practitioner (APRN / NP).
  • South Dakota licensure (or eligible to obtain).
  • Cardiovascular or vascular medicine experience preferred.
  • Procedural APP experience and/or endovenous ablation experience a plus.
  • Collaborative, self-directed, and team-oriented mindset.

 

Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive base salary + productivity bonus structure.
  • Full health benefits package.
  • Retirement plan with employer contribution.
  • Continuing Medical Education (CME) allowance.
