They also assist with hospital rounding and orthopaedic consults. The opportunity to staff Tri-State Ortho Urgent Care hours is optional but encouraged and pays separately.

A minimum of two years of PA experience is preferred. Surgical experience and orthopaedic knowledge is required. Prior orthopaedic experience is strongly preferred. Candidates must be organized, detailed-oriented, caring and passionate about patient care, and possess good bedside manner and excellent interpersonal skills. EMR experience is also required.
