Orthopedic Surgery Physician Assistant

Emerald Resource Group

Orthopedic Surgery Physician Assistant


Patients do not measure orthopedic care by a chart note. They measure it by whether they can walk, work, and sleep without pain. This role puts a physician assistant at the center of that outcome-from first consult through the operatingroom and back to full function. You will extend the surgeon's judgment, tighten the path from diagnosis to recovery, and make every visit count.
Performance Objectives
  • Own the clinic workflow for a defined panel: complete history, exam, imaging review, and a clear surgical or nonoperative plan before the surgeon enters the room.
  • First-assist in orthopedic procedures with reliable exposure, closure, and instrument anticipation so cases start on time and finish without avoidable delay.
  • Reduce post-op complications by standardizing discharge instructions, DVT prophylaxis, and wound checks, and by escalating red flags the same day.
  • Close the loop on results: imaging, labs, and consults acted on within one business day, with patients told what changed and what happens next.
  • Cut rework in documentation so operative notes, orders, and coding support the care delivered and survive audit without revision.
  • Coach patients through realistic recovery milestones so return-to-work and return-to-sport plans are specific, timed, and followed.
  • Surface one process fix per quarter-scheduling, implant readiness, or discharge-that shortens cycle time without lowering safety.
Environment & Resources
  • You report to the lead orthopedic surgeon and work beside nurses, surgical techs, therapists, and schedulers in clinic and OR.
  • Case mix spans joints, sports, trauma, and fracture care; call expectations are defined before you start.
  • You will have EMR templates, implant preference cards, and a dedicated MA or nurse for rooming and follow-up.
  • Protected time for dictation and a clear pathway for PA privileging, first-assist credentialing, and DEA as required by state law.
Essential Qualifications
  • NCCPA-certified PA with an active state license and DEA where prescribing is in scope.
  • Prior orthopedic, surgical, or acute musculoskeletal experience with demonstrated first-assist or procedural skill.
  • Ability to run an efficient clinic visit and produce a decision-ready plan, not a data dump.
  • Comfortable in the OR: sterile technique, anatomy, and calm communication under time pressure.
  • Clear written and spoken explanations patients can act on, including informed consent support.
  • Working knowledge of orthopedic coding and documentation standards tied to the care you deliver.
Why This Role
  • Real operative responsibility, not clinic-only coverage.
  • Direct access to the operating surgeon and a say in how the service runs.
  • A focused musculoskeletal practice where skill compounds case after case.
  • Defined call, credentialing support, and a team built to keep the schedule honest.

If you want your days measured by mobility restored-not by tasks completed-apply with a brief note on the orthopedic outcomes you have owned and the procedures you are ready to assist.
