About The Position

When you join the growing BILH team, you're not just taking a job, you’re making a difference in people’s lives. This is a full-time, 40-hour position. You'll work four 10-hour shifts each week, with a combination of operating room time and independent clinic sessions. Typically, you'll spend 1-2 days assisting in surgery and the remainder of the week managing your own clinic schedule. There are no nights, weekends, or call responsibilities. The primary clinic location will be in Chestnut Hill, where you'll see patients in an outpatient setting. Surgical cases are performed primarily at New England Baptist Hospital in Mission Hill, with future opportunities to support procedures at the expanding surgical center at One Brookline Place. You'll be part of a large, collaborative Orthopaedics APP team of approximately 20 Advanced Practice Providers spanning a wide range of subspecialties. As an Orthopaedic NP/PA, you'll partner closely with a surgeon whose practice includes general Orthopaedics, sports-related procedures, shoulder replacement surgery, and total knee replacements. You'll assist in the operating room and independently manage your own outpatient clinic schedule, seeing the surgeon's patients for post-operative visits, follow-up care, evaluations, and injections. While you'll often practice alongside the attending physician in the same clinic space, you'll maintain your own patient panel and schedule, providing a high level of autonomous care with direct physician support readily available when needed. This role offers the best of both worlds: meaningful surgical experience and the opportunity to build strong patient relationships through independent clinical practice. You'll join a highly respected and collegial Orthopaedics team that values APP autonomy, collaboration, and professional growth. With a diverse patient population, exposure to a broad range of Orthopaedic conditions and procedures, an experienced physician partner, and a schedule free from call, nights, and weekends, you'll have the opportunity to practice at the top of your license while maintaining excellent work-life balance.
