It is seeking highly qualified Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) physicians for outpatient positions focused on treating orthopedic patients with musculoskeletal conditions.

The primary emphasis of this role is on our spine program, and the successful candidates will be required to manage spine patients and perform standard interventional spine procedures (such as epidural injections, medial branch blocks, and radio frequency ablation).

Additionally, selected candidates will perform other procedures, including EMG and peripheral joint injections. While the primary focus is on non-operative outpatient spine care, there is also scope for inpatient consults and inpatient care for those interested.
