About Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine:

At Genesis, our goal is simple: free our patients to be more active, more athletic, and to move freely in their bodies – accessible to everyone, not just the select few with the right commercial insurance.

To accomplish this mission, we've reinvented the care delivery model, trying different ideas until we discovered a blueprint for delivering the high-quality care our reputation was known for, while also making the prices more ethical and affordable. We're honored to report that, after much work, 75% of our patient base is Medicaid-eligible patients, and we were recently included on the 2021 Inc. 5000 list, making us one of the fastest-growing privately held businesses in the United States. We were able to accomplish these both in tandem by combining a deep clinical expertise with a clear-eyed administrative rethink about how we deliver care – all while remaining passionate about the mission and our patients.

If you’re looking for a place with more autonomy (where you operate at the top of your license), a strong mission and culture, and an opportunity to serve the underserved, we’d love to consider you for the team!

Requirements

Experience: Experience as an Orthopedic APP is required. Orthopedic experience in current or previous roles (ex medical scribe, MA) will be considered as well. Particular interest in the field of Orthopedics and Surgery is required.
