Job description
The Opportunity
You won't spend your first year hunting for volume. We'll provide you a near full case load from day one. Whether you focus on sports medicine, total joints, spine, upper extremity, pediatrics, foot and ankle, or prefer general orthopedics, we have a patient population that actually needs you. Then we'll give you the infrastructure to grow: 1-3 APPs who refer into your clinics, EPIC EMR, strong referral networks, and the support of the largest health systems in Illinois.
What You'll Work On
- High-volume, high-variety casework. We are looking for surgeons across sports medicine, total joint replacement, spine, hand & wrist, shoulder, hip, knee, elbow, foot & ankle, and even pediatrics, or General Orthopedics.
- Shaping clinical protocols with a team that's data-obsessed and outcomes-driven, where cost reduction is a priority.
- Research and product development opportunities for surgeons who want to push the field forward
- Team physician roles with professional sports teams and local institutions
- Practice-building – referrals, relationships, community presence – for those who want ownership over their growth
Who We're Looking For
You're BC/BE in orthopedics (generalist or subspecialist – we want both). You're licensed in Illinois or can be. What actually matters:
- You think like an operator. You care about efficiency, outcomes data, and sustainable unit economics – not because someone told you to, but because you understand that accessible care only works if the model works.
- You want to own something. Not just a panel. A practice. A model. A future.
- You believe the system can be better. And you're tired of waiting for someone else to fix it.
- You want to be able to treat everyone…tired of people telling you who you can help, and who you can’t because of insurance.
Requirements
- Board-certified or board-eligible in orthopedics
- Licensed in Illinois or able to obtain an Illinois license
- Efficient, outcomes-driven care mindset
- Interest in practice building and accessible care model
Benefits
- Health Insurance
- Dental Insurance
