Advanced Practice Provider - Walk In Clinic - 3 Shifts per week (Benefits)

Reno Orthopedic Center (ROC) strives to transform musculoskeletal healthcare in the Northern Nevada region and we want you to join us as an Advanced Practice Provider (Physician Assistant or Nurse Practitioner) so we can achieve our vision together. Providing access to quality care in rural areas is important to us and we have an exciting opportunity for you to contribute to that goal.

This position will serve all locations of our ROC Express Walk In Clinic for orthopedic care: Fernley twice a week and one of our other 4 locations once a week. Our other locations are downtown Reno, Sparks, and Carson City. The position will work 3 shifts per week but may work additional shifts periodically to cover our business need.

In addition to the ROC Express Walk In Clinics, you would be crucial to our efforts to build our rural presence by providing orthopedic services to the people of the Fernley area without them having to travel elsewhere to seek care. If you are driven to give back to the rural communities of Nevada while still having the support and network of a regional musculoskeletal institute, you have found your home.

You will be surrounded by others that care about you as a person and your success. We build relationships and connections that extend beyond our time at ROC. We mentor and teach each other and work to help each other with problems that arise.

You will have work/life balance; we encourage you to take care of what’s important to you, while still accomplishing your tasks and caring for our patients.

You will receive professional development, certification reimbursement and reimbursement for continuing education to ensure you are getting what you want out of your time here.
