Flourish Pediatrics is a private pediatric practice in Atlanta, GA dedicated to providing exceptional, personalized care to children from newborn through adolescence.

About the Role
We are seeking an experienced, confident, and self-directed Physician Assistant to join our team in a flexible part-time capacity.
