The ideal candidate will have experience in clinical practice in orthopaedics (possibly in non-operative sports and musculoskeletal medicine), leadership skills, and an understanding of APP education and workforce development. In collaboration with the Chief APP Officer, the Department Chair for Orthopaedics, and other leaders, this Advanced Practice Provider Lead will work to support each APP to practice at the top of their license and facilitate opportunities for professional growth consistent with the goal of contributing to the provision of high-quality, collaborative care.
