Physician Assistant (PA)-Sports Medicine and Foot and Ankle at ValleyOrtho
About The Position
This Physician Assistant position at ValleyOrtho will provide balanced support across both Sports Medicine and Foot and Ankle (Podiatry) services, approximately 50% of time dedicated to each specialty. This is a team-based role working closely with Orthopedic and Podiatric surgeons in two well-established, high-volume practices. The need for this position is in the clinic and less in the Operating Room. This role is heavily focused on outpatient clinic encounters, managing a high volume of established patient visits across sports medicine and podiatry/foot and ankle populations. Responsibilities include evaluating and managing musculoskeletal conditions, providing pre-operative education, coordinating post-operative follow-up care, and performing in-office procedures within scope of practice. The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong interest and aptitude in both Sports Medicine and Podiatry, with the ability to effectively manage patient flow in busy, mature practices. Success in this role requires adaptability, strong clinical judgement, and a commitment to delivering high-quality, patient-centered care in a fast-paced environment. Additional clinical duties include assisting in the Operating room for sports medicine cased based on flip days roughly once a month, triaging and responding to clinical questions and patient messages, and coordinating care with therapy, imaging, and other ancillary services. Support clinic flow by transitioning appropriate visits from surgeons to APP care. Deliver efficient, high-quality documentation in Epic. Participate in care standardization and best-practice workflows. Collaborate with clinic staff to ensure a strong patient experience.
