• Willing and ready to assist with hospital rounds for our patients
• A strong communicator who works hand-in-hand with the physician and clinical staff
• Patient, personable, and known for outstanding bedside manner
• Warm, confident, and professional — someone who adds positive energy to the office
• Adaptable, team-oriented, and excited to be part of a supportive office culture

Responsibilities

• Evaluate and care for orthopedic patients in the clinic setting
• Assist the surgeon with hospital rounds and inpatient care
• Conduct patient evaluations, develop treatment plans, and provide follow-up care
• Perform in-office injections as appropriate
• Communicate clearly and warmly with patients, families, and team members
• Maintain accurate, timely documentation

• Current DEA registration
• BLS certification required (ACLS a plus)

For Both:

• Minimum 1 year of experience working with an orthopedic surgeon or in an orthopedic practice (required)
• Strong clinical skills, reliability, and professionalism
• Comfortable balancing clinic responsibilities with assisting on hospital rounds
