The Nurse Practitioner / Orthopedic Physician Assistant (NP/PA) plays a vital role in delivering high-quality perioperative patient care in collaboration with orthopedic surgeons. This position is based primarily in the operating room of a high-volume ambulatory surgery center and provides direct surgical support, including first assisting during operative procedures.
