The PA will play a critical role in maintaining clinic flow, managing patient volume, and ensuring continuity of care across the patient journey.

Key Responsibilities
  • Provide comprehensive patient care in both clinic and surgical settings, including pre-operative and post-operative management
  • Conduct detailed patient histories, physical exams, and orthopaedic evaluations with a focus on foot, ankle, and knee conditions
  • Independently manage clinic schedules following training, including new patient visits, follow-ups, and post-operative care
  • Review and interpret diagnostic imaging, including X-rays, MRI, and CT scans
  • Perform in-office procedures and injections (foot, ankle, knee, and other joints as appropriate)
  • Serve as first assist in the operating room, including surgical exposure, assistance, and closure
  • Participate in post-operative rounds and care coordination as needed

  • Educate patients and families on diagnoses, treatment plans, rehabilitation protocols, and post-operative care
  • Collaborate closely with clinical staff and administrative teams to ensure efficient clinic operations
  • Adhere to FOI standards related to patient safety, professionalism, and quality of care
  • Participate in ongoing education, training, and professional development activities
  • Perform other duties as assigned to support practice needs
