Job Description:
We are looking for an experienced Nurse Practitioner or Physician's Assistant to join our team at Phoenix Ortho Injury Spine & Extremity in our Stone Mountain and Midtown locations, primarily. This person may float periodically to other Atlanta metro satellite locations. This is primarily an in-office role, though some patients—particularly those in more remote areas—may be seen via telemedicine. Initial onboarding and shadowing will take place in person at our Stone Mountain location. This full-time role qualifies for health insurance enrollment and 401(k) participation as well as additional benefits.

The ideal candidate will have experience in an orthopedic practice with specific attention to treating orthopedic extremity injury and be licensed to practice in Georgia. Experience working with personal injury patients is preferred but not required. Bilingual candidates (English/Spanish) are preferred but not required. Experience with CareCloud EMR is a plus but not mandatory.

This role may include performing in-office procedures such as joint and trigger point injections, which must fall within the APRN’s approved scope of practice.

• Key Responsibilities:
• Conduct patient assessments including medical histories, physical exams, and diagnostic evaluations to determine the appropriate course of treatment.
• Develop and manage treatment plans for orthopedic and pain management patients, ensuring optimal care is provided based on the patient’s condition.
• Provide patient education on orthopedic conditions, pain management techniques, injury recovery, and self-care strategies.
• Perform in-office procedures such as joint injections and trigger point injections, if appropriately credentialed.
• Coordinate with other healthcare providers and personal injury law firms to ensure comprehensive care for patients involved in accidents or injuries.
• Conduct telemedicine visits to assess and manage patient care remotely, ensuring all necessary documentation is completed in the system.
• Document all patient encounters, treatments, and follow-up plans in the electronic medical record (EMR) system, ensuring compliance with all regulations.
• Review and interpret diagnostic tests such as X-rays and MRIs, and make recommendations for further testing or referrals as needed.
• Assist with creating and reviewing patient care protocols for ongoing treatment, rehabilitation, and pain management.
• Collaborate with the clinical team to ensure patient needs are met, and provide guidance on treatment options and progress.
• Participate in future quarterly APP check-ins or training to maintain consistency in protocols and documentation.
• Keep abreast of the latest practices and guidelines in orthopedics, pain management, and regenerative medicine.

Qualifications:

• Active Nurse Practitioner license in Georgia is required.
• Experience in orthopedic extremity injury is required. Non-operative experience is acceptable.
• Experience with personal injury patients is preferred but not required.
• Bilingual in English and Spanish is preferred but not required.
• Experience with CareCloud EMR is preferred but not required.
• Ability to conduct telemedicine visits effectively and professionally.
• Additional APRN licenses in Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, Texas, Illinois, and/or Mississippi are preferred. Willingness and ability to obtain multi-state licensure will eventually be expected to accommodate practice growth.
• Must meet Georgia Medical Board requirements to perform in-office procedures such as joint injections and TPIs.
• Strong clinical knowledge of orthopedic extremity conditions.
• Excellent communication skills with patients, families, and team members.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative healthcare team.
• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and time management.

Call Expectations:

This role would eventually include participation in a shared call rotation (once every 6-8 weeks), providing low-volume 24/7 phone-based consultation. This expectation will be discussed further during the hiring process.

Why Join Us?

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Opportunity to work in a supportive, patient-focused environment with a collaborative team.
• Telemedicine flexibility, enabling you to provide care to patients remotely.
• Professional development and growth opportunities in a growing practice.
