Based primarily at the Texas A&M–Fort Worth location, this temporary, grant-funded role supports rural clinical partnerships throughout the state. The APRN provides longitudinal care from preconception through one year postpartum, including direct clinical services, care coordination, patient education, and collaboration with rural healthcare teams and community partners.

Key Responsibilities:
- Deliver virtual preconception, prenatal, antenatal, and postpartum consultations, including assessment, risk stratification, follow-up, chronic-disease management, and patient education.
- Assess, diagnose, and manage low- to moderate-risk obstetric conditions within APRN scope of practice; coordinate high-risk cases with physicians and specialists.
- Order and interpret laboratory tests, imaging, and diagnostics; prescribe treatments consistent with Texas APRN regulations and collaborative-practice agreements.
- Coordinate patient transitions among telehealth services, local clinics, delivering hospitals, and specialty providers.
- Maintain accurate documentation, coding, and billing across clinical systems while complying with HIPAA, payer requirements, telehealth regulations, and site protocols.
- Collaborate with rural clinics, hospitals, community partners, leadership, and IT staff to strengthen maternal-health access and resolve care-delivery barriers.
- Participate in quality improvement, case review, performance reporting, outreach, and program-development activities.

Required Qualifications:
- MSN degree.
- Four years of related obstetric clinical experience as an APRN, including high-risk pregnancy management/collaboration, maternal-fetal medicine, telehealth, and electronic fetal monitoring experience; equivalent education and experience may be considered.
- Active, unrestricted Texas APRN license.
- Board certification as a CNM, WHNP-BC, or FNP-BC.
- Current Neonatal Resuscitation Program and Basic Life Support certifications.

Preferred qualifications include experience in rural, underserved, telehealth, multi-site/EMR, maternal quality-improvement, remote-monitoring, and billing/coding settings; Spanish-language ability is a plus. The role may require up to 20% travel to rural partner sites and schedule flexibility; weekly hours will not exceed 40 without leadership approval.
