What are the responsibilities and job description for the Physician Assistant position at Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine?
About Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine:
At Genesis, our goal is simple: free our patients to be more active, more athletic, and to move freely in their bodies - accessible to everyone, not just the select few with the right commercial insurance.
To accomplish this mission, we've reinvented the care delivery model, trying different ideas until we discovered a blueprint for delivering the high-quality care our reputation was known for, while also making the prices more ethical and affordable. We're honored to report that, after much work, 75% of our patient base is Medicaid-eligible patients, and have been included on the 2021-2024 Inc. 5000 list, making us one of the fastest-growing privately held businesses in the United States. We were able to accomplish these both in tandem by combining a deep clinical expertise with a clear-eyed administrative rethink about how we deliver care - all while remaining passionate about the mission and our patients.
If you're looking for a place with more autonomy (where you operate at the top of your license), a strong mission and culture, and an opportunity to serve the underserved, we'd love to consider you for the team!
Job Description:
At Genesis Orthopedics we highly value our Advance Practice Providers and desire for all providers to practice at the very top of their license.
APPs are responsible for providing medical care as delegated by Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine physician(s). Responsibilities will include running independent clinics, Chicago clinic, seeing patients with a variety of orthopedic injuries and conditions. This is a clinic only role.
