Join TEAM OI!

At OrthoIndy, we provide leading-edge bone, joint, spine and muscle care from 22 locations throughout Central Indiana, staying true to our mission and our patients by offering a full range of procedures and treatment options. We have over 100 physicians in our practice and we continue to be one of the most highly respected and trusted orthopedic practices in the Midwest. OrthoIndy has received national recognition for patient safety and orthopedic excellence and our philosophy is a physician-owned hospital model where patients experience superior service, safety and patient satisfaction because physicians are involved in every aspect of your care. OrthoIndy is also the official orthopedic provider for the Indiana Pacers and Indiana Fever.

General Statement of Duties:

The Private APP will be personally trained by the physician to evaluate patients with acute and chronic spine pathology, including but not limited to, herniated discs causing nerve root compression, myofascial injuries, and chronic arthritic conditions. The physician will train the PA/NP to prescribe appropriate non-narcotic medication management while we are actively treating the issue as well as how to order and read the appropriate diagnostic tests including EMGs, x-rays, CT’s, and MRI’s. The PA/NP would also be introduced to the physician’s network of physical therapists to maximize physical therapy outcomes for our patients. The physician will need the PA/NP to utilize his/her clinical judgment to know when to refer patients for surgical consults with OrthoIndy surgeons. Ultimately, once fully trained, the PA/NP will mainly practice independently while running his/her own clinic and of course, discussing patients with the physician as needed.
