Orthopedic Physician Assistant/Nurse Practitioner

Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine•Chicago, IL

About The Position

This is a full-scope orthopedic APP role. That means you're not shadowing — you're doing. Running independent clinics — your patients, your assessments, your treatment plans Comprehensive MSK care across a wide range of injuries and conditions: fractures, dislocations, joint pathology, soft tissue repair, post-op management, and more Procedures — aspirations and injections, closed reductions, compartment pressure measurements, digital blocks, regional anesthesia, minor outpatient surgery (tendon repair, wound closure, I&D, percutaneous pinning, hardware removal) OR assist — first assist, wound closure, internal device application, and procedures delegated by the supervising surgeon Hospital-side coverage — rounds, orders, ED consults, and floor evaluations Diagnostic interpretation — labs, EMG, EKG, X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound, bone scan, arthrogram Casting, splinting, bracing — applied correctly, the first time The breadth here is real. So is the autonomy. Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine is a full-spectrum MSK platform — surgery, physical therapy, and everything between — built on a single conviction: that world-class orthopedic care should be accessible to everyone, not just the patients with the right insurance card. We operate 16 clinics across Chicagoland, run clinical trials, and have built a care delivery model that serves Medicaid patients at scale without compromising on quality. The care we deliver is good enough for anyone. We've made it accessible to everyone. Our APPs aren't support staff. They're central to how this works. If you're an orthopedic APP who's ready to practice at full capacity — in a system that was designed to let you — we want to talk.

Requirements

You have orthopedic APP experience — clinical, surgical, or both.
You're not looking for a job where you're managed into mediocrity. You want to be trusted with hard cases, complex patients, and real responsibility.
You practice like an owner. You don't wait to be told what to do next. You assess, you decide, you act — and you know when to loop in the surgeon.
You're mission-aligned. Our patients are on Medicaid, on Medicare, or uninsured entirely. They're not easy cases with clean paperwork. They're people who need someone who actually shows up for them. That has to mean something to you.
You're built for volume and variety. Genesis treats the full MSK spectrum across 16 Chicagoland clinics. No two days are the same. That's a feature, not a bug.
