Are you looking for a role in a company that's solving one of the greatest challenges of our lifetime? Ophelia helps people end their opioid use and restore their quality of life with respect for their time and dignity. Our mission is to make evidence-based treatments for opioid use disorder (OUD) accessible to everyone... and we're looking to bring more people onto our team to help us achieve it.

Ophelia is a venture-backed, healthcare startup that helps individuals with OUD by providing FDA-approved medication and clinical care through a telehealth platform. Our approach is discreet, convenient, and affordable. We've been successfully operating in 16 states for almost six years and we're excited to continue our growth. We are a team of physicians, scientists, entrepreneurs, researchers and White House advisors, backed by leading technology and healthcare investors working to re-imagine and re-build OUD treatment in America.

About the Role

Clinicians are a critical part of our care team at Ophelia. As an Advanced Practice Practitioner, you will provide clinical care to patients receiving medication for opioid use disorder and a narrow suite of mental health conditions (depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc…).

You'll work closely alongside other clinicians, triage nurses, and administrative care coordinators to deliver compassionate, evidence-based treatment to patients with OUD.

Our Clinicians offer compassionate, non-stigmatizing support for patients, act as a liaison and advocate for them, and ensure patients receive appropriate care as their needs evolve. Depending on role type, clinicians conduct Intake visits and/or follow-up visits, and work within a team-based approach model of care to deliver high quality care to our patients. We have multiple different clinical role types depending on your experience with MOUD, and through our team-based model of care we provide a strong support system to ensure that you and our patients feel comfortable and supported.

Our patient care hours are Monday - Friday 9-7pm and Saturday and Sunday 9-5pm, with our weekend coverage provided only by our most experienced providers! We will work with you to determine your ideal schedule within these hours.

The ideal candidate is an APP who:

Has a passion for serving vulnerable populations, and;
Either has previous experience caring for individuals with OUD, or willing to learn the clinical skills needed to provide MOUD through a telehealth platform
Is looking for full time work in a fast-paced, innovative start-up that values patient-centered care

No experience with MOUD is required for this role: we will teach you what you need to know!

In this role you will be responsible for:

Treatment Plans: determine individualized treatment plans for patients; facilitate changes to treatment plans when patients are not improving as expected, either independently or consulting with a more experienced provider.
Behavioral Interventions: use motivational interviewing, behavioral activation and other behavioral interventions as needed to motivate patients to remain in care and adherent to their treatment plan. Conduct behavioral health / psych evals for the suite of psych services we treat (depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.)
Monitor/Medication Management: systematically track treatment response and monitor patients for changes in clinical symptoms and side effects, treatment adherence, the effectiveness of treatment or complications, and prescribe or queue the appropriate medications
Education: provide patient education on OUD and MOUD
Charting: Document all patient encounters in Ophelia's EHR in a timely and high quality manner

Board Certified NP or PA
Active DEA license (schedule 3N, 4, 5) or willingness to obtain a DEA upon receiving a job offer with Ophelia
