Physician Assistant
Description
Kansas City Orthopedic Alliance is the largest, independently owned orthopedic specialty practice in the Kansas City metro area.
We are looking for an advanced practice provider — Physician Assistant or Nurse Practitioner — who is genuinely interested in orthopedics and wants to practice at the top of the field. This is a part-time, principally clinic-based role, roughly 20–25 hours per week, supporting a sports medicine and knee-and-shoulder surgical practice — including arthroplasty and fractures about the knee and shoulder and some general orthopedic fracture work. Our approach is high-skill, high-tech, with an unwavering commitment to clinical excellence.
The Role

- You will be joining a fun, highly collaborative team consisting of a fellowship-trained, board-certified orthopedic surgeon and two amazing part-time nurse practitioners who function as a cohesive unit. We want to onboard a strong team player who also has a sense of humor.
