Orthopedic Nurse Practitioner / Physician Assistant
About The Position
Atria Health Institute is launching a precision orthobiologic program, offering regenerative medicine procedures including PRP, Lipogems, A2M/iRAP, and Regenokine. This Nurse Practitioner (NP) role is foundational to the program's launch. The NP will work closely with Dr. Ken Zaslav as a full procedural and clinical partner, performing PRP injections, conducting MSK assessments, managing member follow-up, and helping build the operational and clinical infrastructure of a program being built from the ground up. The NP will serve as the primary advanced clinical practitioner for the Atria Orthobiologic Program, operating under a collaborative practice agreement with Dr. Ken Zaslav. This is not a support role; the NP will independently perform orthobiologic procedures, conduct musculoskeletal assessments, manage member care plans, and absorb care coordination responsibilities during phase 2. This role is ideal for an NP with hands-on procedural experience, a genuine interest in regenerative medicine, and the entrepreneurial drive to help build a new clinical program within a growing, mission-driven practice.
