Are you an experienced Physician Assistant or Nurse Practitioner looking for an opportunity to make a meaningful impact in orthopedic care?

Steindler Orthopedic Clinic is seeking an Advanced Practice Provider - Adult Reconstruction to join our growing team of experienced orthopedic surgeons and clinical professionals.

This is an opportunity to become an integral member of a specialized orthopedic program focused on hip and knee care and joint replacement. You will care for patients throughout their entire journey-from initial evaluation and conservative treatment through surgical preparation, recovery, and long-term follow-up.

Rather than seeing patients for a single visit, you'll have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships, follow patients through their treatment and recovery, and make a lasting difference in their mobility, function, and quality of life.

Why You'll Love This Opportunity

Practice with Autonomy

Our physician-APP care model allows APPs to practice at the top of their scope, independently manage appropriate patients, and develop an increasingly independent patient panel while collaborating closely with orthopedic surgeons.

Grow Your Orthopedic Expertise

Whether you are an experienced orthopedic APP or looking to deepen your expertise in Adult Reconstruction, this role provides opportunities for continued clinical development, procedural training, and professional growth.

Develop Procedural Skills

You will have opportunities to develop expertise in joint injections and, for APPs interested in operative care, a potential pathway to surgical first-assist responsibilities based on experience, competency, service-line needs, and clinical performance.

Be Part of Something Growing

Steindler's Adult Reconstruction program continues to grow across Eastern Iowa. You'll have the opportunity to help improve patient access, clinical efficiency, quality, and continuity of care while contributing to the continued development of the program.
