Job Description

Physician Assistant – Orthopedics

A highly respected orthopedics practice in the North Dallas–Fort Worth area is adding a full-time Physician Assistant to support a busy and well-established Hip & Knee specialist .

This role was originally designed as clinic-based, but has evolved into a true clinic-to-OR opportunity , with structured training into the operating room and the ability to serve as a First Assist once fully onboarded.

Compensation & Schedule

• $115,000 – $125,000 base salary (flexibility for an exceptional candidate)
• Monday–Friday schedule
• Call responsibilities will be discussed collaboratively and tailored to the provider selected
• Credentialing begins immediately upon hire — you’ll be working, shadowing, and ramping up during the credentialing process

Why This Role Is Special

• Clear path from clinic-only to a split Clinic + OR role
• Hands-on training into the OR — prior OR experience is preferred but not required
• High-volume, fast-paced environment with strong clinical support
• Opportunity to practice with increasing autonomy and independence once fully ramped
• Patient population that is stable, loyal, and highly service-oriented

What You’ll Be Doing

• Managing day-to-day clinic visits for hip and knee patients
• Performing in-clinic procedures such as injections
• Ordering and interpreting diagnostic imaging
• Developing and executing treatment plans alongside the supervising physician
• Educating patients and families on diagnoses, procedures, and recovery plans
• Transitioning into the OR to support cases and serve as First Assist once trained

What They’re Looking For

• Graduate of an accredited Physician Assistant program
• Previous orthopaedic experience required (clinic experience strongly valued)
• OR exposure during training or rotations is a plus
• Comfortable in a high-pace, high-volume environment
• Patient-first mindset with strong communication and customer service skills
• Confident decision-maker who values collaboration without needing constant oversight

This is an excellent opportunity for an APP who wants long-term growth , OR exposure , and the chance to work with a surgeon who values partnership and autonomy.
