Most APP roles in orthopedics look the same: follow a surgeon around, fill out notes, operate inside a box someone else drew. You're credentialed, experienced, and capable of more — and the system keeps finding new ways to remind you that doesn't matter. 

Genesis is built differently. 

We don't hire Advanced Practice Providers to assist. We hire them to practice at the top of their license — running independent clinics, making real clinical decisions, and delivering care to a patient population that has almost no one else in their corner. If you've been waiting for a role that actually respects what you can do, this is it. 

The Work 

This is a full-scope orthopedic APP role. That means you're not shadowing — you're doing. 

• Running independent clinics — your patients, your assessments, your treatment plans 

• Comprehensive MSK care across a wide range of injuries and conditions: fractures, dislocations, joint pathology, soft tissue repair, post-op management, and more 

• Procedures — aspirations and injections, closed reductions, compartment pressure measurements, digital blocks, regional anesthesia, minor outpatient surgery (tendon repair, wound closure, I&D, percutaneous pinning, hardware removal) 

• OR assist — first assist, wound closure, internal device application, and procedures delegated by the supervising surgeon 

• Hospital-side coverage — rounds, orders, ED consults, and floor evaluations 

• Diagnostic interpretation — labs, EMG, EKG, X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound, bone scan, arthrogram 

• Casting, splinting, bracing — applied correctly, the first time 

The breadth here is real. So is the autonomy. 

Who We're Looking For 

You have orthopedic APP experience — clinical, surgical, or both. You're not looking for a job where you're managed into mediocrity. You want to be trusted with hard cases, complex patients, and real responsibility. 

You practice like an owner. You don't wait to be told what to do next. You assess, you decide, you act — and you know when to loop in the surgeon. 

You're mission-aligned. Our patients are on Medicaid, on Medicare, or uninsured entirely. They're not easy cases with clean paperwork. They're people who need someone who actually shows up for them. That has to mean something to you. 

You're built for volume and variety. Genesis treats the full MSK spectrum across 16 Chicagoland clinics. No two days are the same. That's a feature, not a bug. 

The Stack 

• Full-time and part-time schedules available 

• Locations: Chicago, Oak Brook, and St. Charles 

• EMR: EPIC 

• Competitive compensation 

• PTO, healthcare, 401K 

• Real clinical support — you won't be doing this alone 

About Genesis 

Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine is a full-spectrum MSK platform — surgery, physical therapy, and everything between — built on a single conviction: that world-class orthopedic care should be accessible to everyone, not just the patients with the right insurance card. 

We operate 16 clinics across Chicagoland, run clinical trials, and have built a care delivery model that serves Medicaid patients at scale without compromising on quality. The care we deliver is good enough for anyone. We've made it accessible to everyone. 

Our APPs aren't support staff. They're central to how this works. 

If you're an orthopedic APP who's ready to practice at full capacity — in a system that was designed to let you — we want to talk.
