AICA Orthopedics is the clinical brand of ProCo, one of Georgia's largest integrated orthopedic and injury care networks. We have 21 clinics, 3 surgery centers and 400+ team members across metro Atlanta. Most orthopedic groups split specialists by body part.

• Coordinate referrals and continuity of care across AICA's network

• EMR proficiency (NextGen preferred)

Preferred

• Personal injury or workers' compensation background
• OR or first-assist experience
• Experience in a multidisciplinary practice
• Spine experience is valued over extremity-only experience

Pay and benefits

• $150,000–$200,000 base salary, depending on experience
• Monthly performance bonuses tied to clinical KPIs
• Your choice of W-2 or 1099 employment
• Medical, dental and vision insurance; 401(k)
