New York Collaborating Physician Jobs – Flexible & High-Paying Opportunities

Form 4NP — Verification of Collaborative Agreement and Practice Protocol — is a document NPs must file with the New York State Education Department within 90 days of commencing practice. Both the NP and the collaborating physician must complete sections of the form. It is a one-time filing only. Yes — we coordinate the Form 4NP process as part of setting up your collaboration, so neither you nor the NP has to navigate it alone.

New York law requires the collaborating physician to conduct peer review of the NP’s patient records at least once every three months. The law does not specify a minimum number of charts — that decision is left to the judgment of the NP and physician, taking into account the NP’s experience level, the practice setting, and the patient population being served.

No. New York law places no geographic or on-site requirements on the collaborating physician. Remote supervision is fully permitted with no restrictions. Practice agreements and protocols must be kept at the NP’s practice setting, but you do not need to be present there to satisfy the oversight requirements.

Yes. Physician Assistants in New York require physician supervision under NYS Education Law Article 131, regardless of their experience level. New York has not adopted a transition-to-independence model for PAs. The collaboration opportunity in New York applies to both NP-led and PA-staffed clinics.

Many physicians in our New York network are matched and onboarded within 24 to 48 hours, depending on availability, credentials, and clinic needs in your area of New York state.

For NPs and PAs: the most efficient way to find a collaborating physician in New York is through a managed matching network. New York’s framework involves multiple moving parts — Form 4NP filing, specialty correspondence between the NP’s practice protocols and the physician’s field, quarterly chart review documentation, and separate PA supervision requirements under NYS Education Law Article 131. A managed platform handles all of those elements and matches you with a collaborative physician whose credentials and specialty align with your practice. Attempting to find a collaborating physician independently — through social media groups, local outreach, or professional directories — often results in informal arrangements that lack the required Form 4NP documentation or the correct specialty alignment, which creates compliance risk for both parties. For physicians: if you are looking at collaborating physician jobs in New York and want to understand the time commitment, a collaborative physician in New York reviews patient records quarterly, is available for consultation, and participates in the Form 4NP process at the start of each arrangement. The day-to-day footprint is defined and manageable, and the dual NP and PA market means New York offers more concurrent arrangement opportunities than most states.

A collaborative physician in New York is a licensed MD or DO whose role is defined by NY Education Law §6902 and the written Collaborative Practice Agreement and Practice Protocols signed with the NP. The core obligations are: (1) conducting peer review of the NP’s patient records at least once every three months; (2) being available for clinical consultation; (3) co-completing Form 4NP with the NP for the initial NYSED filing; and (4) for PA arrangements under NYS Education Law Article 131, fulfilling the supervision responsibilities defined in the supervisory agreement. Beyond these defined obligations, the collaborative physician does not manage the NP’s or PA’s patient scheduling, staff, or daily clinical operations — those remain with the provider. This distinction between defined physician collaboration responsibilities and open-ended clinical oversight is what makes New York arrangements suitable as supplemental income rather than a second job. It is also why collaborating physician jobs in New York attract physicians who want structured, bounded engagement with independent NP and PA practices rather than taking on additional clinical employment.
