About The Position

We are seeking a skilled Interventional Pain Physician to join our team at the Orthopedic Institute in Sioux Falls, SD. As an Interventional Pain Medicine Physician, you will work alongside our team of specialists to provide comprehensive pain management services to our patients suffering from a variety of orthopedic conditions. Orthopedic Institute seeks a fellowship-trained, procedure-oriented Interventional Pain Medicine Physician to join its Pain Management service line, currently anchored by Dr. James Brunz. This is an outpatient, non-surgical position focused on image-guided procedures, multidisciplinary care, and conservative use of medications rather than chronic high-dose opioid management. The new physician will help absorb a substantial existing backlog and ongoing referral demand. The position is based at the Tea main campus, with optional outreach determined collaboratively based on candidate interests and the strategic direction of the Pain service line.

Requirements

• Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree
• Board certification in Pain Medicine
• Fellowship training in Interventional Pain Medicine
• Licensed to practice medicine in the state of South Dakota

Responsibilities

• Initially, the new physician’s practice will emphasize core interventional pain procedures commonly expected of a typical pain specialist, including: Fluoroscopic and ultrasound-guided epidural steroid injections (interlaminar, transforaminal ), facet/medial branch blocks, sacroiliac joint injections, and large joint/bursal injections.
• Trigger point injections, peripheral nerve blocks, and image-guided joint injections for spine, hip, knee, shoulder, and other musculoskeletal conditions.
• Integration of physical therapy, rehabilitation strategies, and non-opioid medication management as part of multimodal treatment plans.
• Evaluating new and follow-up patients in an outpatient setting, formulating diagnosis and treatment plans, and coordinating care with orthopedic surgeons, therapists, and other specialists.
• Performing procedures at Sioux Falls Specialty Hospital and associated Midwest Pain procedural settings, as well as in OI’s in-office fluoroscopy-equipped procedure rooms in Tea and possibly Mitchell.
• Utilizing OI’s Athena EMR for documentation, ordering, and coordination of imaging and therapy services.
• Working with a primary clinical staff member (RN/LPN/MA) and a shared Patient Navigator (procedure scheduler), with additional staff resources flexed to volume.

Benefits

• OI offers a comprehensive benefits package typical of leading independent specialty groups, including health insurance, retirement plan participation, malpractice coverage, paid time off, CME support, and relocation assistance; detailed benefit summaries are available for review during subsequent interview stages.
• Additional information on specific clinic templates, call logistics, and the shareholder compensation model will be provided in conversations during an on-site visit.
