Atc Management Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Founded in 1991, IBJI is the largest orthopedic group practice in Illinois. With more than 150 physicians in every orthopedic specialty, IBJI offers care for adults and children from some of the most accomplished and respected orthopedists in the country. Serving northern Illinois and northwest Indiana with over 100 locations, IBJI makes it easy to access care. Our headquarters is in Park Ridge, Illinois, a northwest suburb of Chicago. Our clinical services include advanced MRI imaging, pain management, non-surgical and surgical treatment plans, rheumatology, physical therapy, occupational therapy, wellness, and sports and sports training. Ortho Access walk-in clinics provide same day care for orthopedic injuries. Comprehensive care offered all in one place enables physicians, therapists and staff to work closely together, so that patients and families achieve better outcomes. Collaborative care is also more efficient. In many cases, IBJI services are substantially less expensive than those provided by large healthcare systems and emergency rooms.

The Athletic Trainer (ATC) Physician Extender is an integral part of a fast-paced orthopedic practice that must excel in IBJI's core values of patient-centric care, musculoskeletal care, and teamwork. The ATC Physician Extender functions as a liaison between the patients, physicians, and clinical support staff. Primary responsibilities include, but are not limited to: managing day-to-day needs of a specific physician's practice, providing superior care to patients, and educating the patients on injury and other health-related awareness/prevention topics. All responsibilities should be performed while maintaining the highest standard of care and integrity in order to provide the best patient experience possible.

It is IBJI's expectation that ATC's will conduct themselves in a manner which is at all times, courteous, professional and promotes a positive image of IBJI. The ATC will at times be called upon to act as a physician's representative, and as such will set the example for other employees in dependability, punctuality, positive attitude and adherence to policies and procedures.
