Family Nurse Practitioner – In-Home Primary Care & IME/C&P Examiner
Location: Cartersville / Dalton, Georgia
Job Type: Part-Time
Work Setting: Hybrid – In-Home, Community-Based & Remote
Organization: Godwins Family Care
Company Description
Godwins Family Care is a physician- and family nurse practitioner-owned healthcare organization serving nine counties across Metro Atlanta and surrounding areas. Our organization provides private home care supported by clinical oversight, dementia and behavioral specialty services, and consistent caregiver support. Our Continuous Care Program provides 24/7 remote or hybrid monitoring, enabling early identification of changes in condition, proactive communication, and timely clinical intervention. Through our in-home primary care services, Godwins Family Care brings experienced advanced practitioners directly into patients’ homes, emphasizing prevention, accessibility, continuity, and high-quality care.
In addition to primary care services, Godwins Family Care provides Independent Medical Examinations (IME) and Compensation & Pension (C&P) examinations for Veterans, as well as medical evaluations supporting insurers, attorneys, employers, and government agencies.
Across all services, our organization is committed to clinician-led care, objective clinical assessment, thorough documentation, evidence-based decision-making, and professional integrity.
Role Description
Godwins Family Care is seeking a part-time Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) to join our clinical team in a hybrid role combining in-home primary care with Independent Medical Examination (IME) and VA Compensation & Pension (C&P) examination services.
The primary component of this position is in-home primary care, providing comprehensive medical evaluation and treatment to patients in their homes and surrounding communities. The practitioner will conduct new-patient and follow-up visits, perform physical examinations, diagnose and manage acute and chronic conditions, develop treatment plans, prescribe medications, order and interpret diagnostic testing, provide preventive care, and educate patients and families.
The practitioner will work closely with the organization’s physicians, advanced practitioners, and care coordination team. The FNP will remain focused on clinical decision-making and patient care, while dedicated care coordinators manage ongoing non-clinical coordination, scheduling, resource navigation, and follow-up workflows.
As a complementary component of the role, the practitioner will conduct IME and VA C&P examinations for Veterans. These assignments involve objective clinical evaluations of claimed medical conditions and functional limitations for disability evaluation purposes. Responsibilities may include reviewing medical records and service-related documentation, obtaining relevant medical histories, performing focused or comprehensive physical examinations, documenting objective findings, and completing required examination reports.
When an opinion is requested and falls within the practitioner’s scope and qualifications, the FNP may also provide an evidence-based medical opinion supported by a clear clinical rationale. The practitioner must maintain an impartial and objective approach and distinguish patient-reported information from objective clinical findings and medical conclusions.
This position is designed for an FNP who wants to maintain a meaningful hands-on primary care practice while also participating in Veterans’ C&P examinations and independent medical evaluations.
