Through the University Physicians Group, the UVA Emergency Department is currently recruiting for either an RN or Nurse Practitioner/ Physician Assistant to be responsible for assisting in establishing our Grand-Aides program in the department. The qualified candidate will have a leadership role and oversite for our new initiative for the Grand-Aides Program. This program is being established to enhance patient care through collaboration with physicians and professional health care teams for patients identified with high frequency utilization of our Emergency Medicine Department. This position will manage, facilitate, coordinate, and maintain compassionate, efficient, and quality care for these complex patients through direct, supervised, and/or monitored care visits with or by highly specialized and trained CNAs using modern technology to collaborate telemedicine-type care. This position will involve follow-up with patients and possible home visits in coordination with the patient and others within the assigned region; this will require access to a personal vehicle for local travel.
This position will need to be comfortable with training, mentoring, collaborating, and evaluating performances of others. This will include facilitating adult learning through development, planning, and presenting educational material to the CNAs as well as others as defined and required by the program. Additionally, this individual needs to have in depth clinical knowledge, skills, and abilities; experience in emergency rooms or similar care programs is preferred. This role will be responsible for understanding and advising the CNAs on the medications, therapies, treatments, and other medical requirements for the patients based on medical record screening and communication with physicians and/or care team members. Furthermore, this person needs to be able to observe, record, and report changes to the required teams and healthcare providers.
As a member of the leadership team for this program, this position will be required to collaborate with the medical director and program director as well as the department leadership on the progress and status of the program and the efforts in the program by themselves and the CNAs. This person will directly supervise and manage the subordinate CNAs within the program.
This is an exciting time to join the University of Virginia Health System, as we are currently in the process of our Hospital Expansion project will includes an expanded Emergency Department as well as additional operating rooms and inpatient beds in order to meet the needs of the growing Charlottesville area.

In 1819, the University of Virginia established a new model for intellectual exchange and cross-disciplinary collaboration in higher education. Two hundred years later, as a major research institution, we continue to challenge conventions, lead with ingenuity and advance knowledge for the common good.
What began as an innovative idea has become one of the nation’s leading public research universities, with over 21,000 undergraduate, graduate and professional students. UVA also has over 3,000 full-time faculty offering more than 400 degrees.
Each of the University’s eleven schools has its own distinctive mission, working together to garner consistently high rankings—including #2 Best Value Public College (Princeton Review, 2016), #3 Public University in the Nation (U.S. News & World Report, 2016), and #3 Best Value Among Public Colleges (Kiplinger’s, 2016).
As we invest in and strengthen our research capabilities, UVA seeks new faculty ready to uncover new insights, rewrite old rules and collaborate on intellectual discoveries.
RESEARCH COLLABORATIONS THAT CROSS DISCIPLINES
As an R1 institution, the University’s research centers, consortia and laboratories are on the leading edge of discovery and technology, offering collaborative spaces for students and faculty to solve global problems.
Our professors are recognized members of major national scholarly and professional organizations, including the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Our faculty’s engagement in interdisciplinary research is being facilitated by new research institutes specializing in everything from big data to brain functioning, and by cluster hires across schools.
NATIONALLY RANKED HEALTH SYSTEM
UVA is also home to a nationally renowned academic medical center and the UVA Health System, which serves a three-part mission to treat patients, conduct translational research and train medical practitioners in a wide variety of disciplines.
Established as the nation’s 10th medical school in 1825, the institution has since grown to include a 612-bed hospital and a Level I trauma center, nationally recognized cancer and heart centers, a Children’s Hospital, and primary and specialty clinics throughout Central Virginia.
The UVA Medical Center is consistently ranked among the nation’s best hospitals by the U.S. News & World Report magazine and has been named among the top 25 percent in seven specialties.
INSPIRING STUDENTS, INSPIRED TEACHING
The vast majority of UVA students come from the top 10% of their high school class, as well as from all 50 states, over 142 countries and a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite their diversity, all UVA students share a love of learning and a drive to achieve.
One of the reasons students choose Virginia is our unique residential culture. At UVA, the community of students, faculty and staff personifies the Jeffersonian idea that living and learning are connected. The Academical Village was constructed to support a unique residential experience, with faculty living in the Pavilions, students occupying Lawn rooms and the world-famous Rotunda at its heart. The University’s residential culture continues to support this experience today—strengthened by students, faculty and staff rich in backgrounds, ideas and perspectives. Our unique culture is also paying dividends in innovation: UVA’s faculty have generated more than 130 patents since 2010.
Perhaps most importantly, faculty come to UVA knowing that instruction is as important as research, and they pride themselves on their many teaching awards. Our best professors look for ways to encourage, mentor and develop tomorrow’s leaders inside and outside the classroom.
LIFE IN CHARLOTTESVILLE
Living in Charlottesville you’ll find sophisticated restaurants, world-renowned wineries and breweries, cosmopolitan arts and music, friendly urban and suburban neighborhoods and a Piedmont landscape that has lured adventurous souls for centuries.

In addition to UVA and its health system, several major employers have facilities in Charlottesville, including State Farm, Northrop Grumman, the U.S. Department of Defense, GE and others. Charlottesville is also becoming a center for innovative start-up businesses. The University also actively helps spouses and partners of faculty members build their networks and pursue employment opportunities with a wide variety of area employers.
