Description
Job Title: Physician Assistant
Job Description
Founded in 1991, IBJI is the largest orthopedic group practice in Illinois.

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.
