About the Opportunity
This is an excellent opportunity for a Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant who enjoys building patient relationships, practicing with a high level of autonomy, and working within a collaborative orthopedic specialty environment. You'll play a key role in evaluating, treating, and managing patients with a wide range of foot and ankle conditions, helping guide care plans from initial consultation through recovery.
Providers in this role work closely with fellowship-trained orthopedic foot and ankle specialists while also maintaining an independent clinic schedule.
