Description

Location: Beautiful Flagstaff, Arizona

About Us: At Flagstaff Bone and Joint, we’re more than just an orthopaedic practice – we’re a passionate team dedicated to improving the quality of life for our patients through exceptional care. Serving Northern Arizona since 1978, we’ve built a reputation for clinical excellence and innovative treatments. We’re proud to be a well-established private practice that values teamwork, compassion, and forward-thinking approaches to patient care.

Why You’ll Love Working Here: We are looking for a motivated Physician Assistant (PA-C) to join our collaborative and fast-paced team! In this role, you will work side-by-side with Dr. Catlea Gorman, DPM, a highly respected foot and ankle specialist, to provide personalized care for our patients. You’ll be a key part of the patient journey, building comprehensive treatment plans and directly assisting Dr. Gorman in the operating room 2-3 times a month. However, your primary focus will be patient care in the clinic, helping them get back on their feet (literally!) and resume their active lifestyles.

As a Physician Assistant (PA-C) at Flagstaff Bone and Joint, you will be supported like never before! You’ll have your own dedicated medical assistant (MA) who is solely focused on helping you run your clinic efficiently – no sharing with other providers. In addition, we provide a DME/Casting tech to assist with patient needs like bracing and casting, so you and your MA can stay focused on delivering top-notch care without falling behind. This is one of the many things that set us apart and ensures that you can provide excellent care in a well-organized and patient-focused environment.

What You’ll Do:

• Deliver Expert Care: Assess, diagnose, and treat foot and ankle conditions alongside Dr. Gorman, providing patients with top-notch care and support throughout their treatment.
• Assist in Surgeries: Join Dr. Gorman in the operating room 2-3 times per month as needed, gaining valuable hands-on experience in surgical care while making a meaningful impact.
• Manage Treatment Plans: Develop customized care plans, monitor patient progress, and work closely with our multidisciplinary team to ensure the best possible outcomes.
• Build Relationships: Cultivate trust and lasting relationships with patients, offering guidance and encouragement every step of the way.

At Flagstaff Bone and Joint, we believe in rewarding dedication and ensuring our team is well-supported, both professionally and personally. The base salary for this position ranges from $86,500 to $150,000, depending on experience and hours worked, with eligibility for an annual performance-based bonus.

In addition to competitive compensation, we offer a comprehensive benefits package to ensure you and your family are healthy, secure, and well taken care of.
