Urology

Overview:

Are you looking for a new opportunity as an APP? Are you seeking a meaningful challenge with the support of a highly collaborative team?

Look no further. Sentara is partnering with VirtuCare, a team of exceptional urologists, to build a comprehensive urology service line. You will complete a structured urology training program and be paired with a remote, board-certified urologist from day one.

This is not the typical physician–APP relationship. You will have direct access to a urologist before, during, and after clinic. They will provide ongoing teaching and mentorship to help you become the face of urology within Sentara.

Surgeons will travel on-site to perform procedures, ensuring patients receive comprehensive, coordinated care.

Why trade the demands of primary care for urology specialization?

If you are feeling:

• Overscheduled with 15-minute primary or urgent care visits that rarely stay on time
• Under supported when complex cases arise without consistent physician collaboration
• Under-trained in environments where “learn-as-you-go” remains the norm
  
  
  

Consider the opportunity to focus on a single specialty, develop deep expertise, and become a trusted resource in your community, all while having direct access to a board-certified urologist for support before and during clinic.

The VirtuCare Model – Clinical Autonomy with Expert Support

• Board-Certified Urologist On-Call: Immediate phone or video access for case reviews, imaging questions, and post-operative concerns
• Immersion Program: A structured onboarding experience including lectures, educational resources, and on-site training prior to your first clinic day
• Flexible Scheduling: Start at 20 hours per week, with the opportunity to increase hours and compensation as your patient panel grows
• Optional Procedural Training: Opportunities to learn procedures such as cystoscopy and percutaneous nerve evaluations for sacral neuromodulation, based on your interests
