Clinical Specialist, Joint Replacement - Morristown, NJ
About the role
As a Clinical Specialist at Stryker, you will help improve orthopedic surgeries around the world and play a direct role in our mission of making healthcare better. In this role, you will build deep clinical and technical expertise across both robotic (Mako SmartRobotics™) and manual orthopedic procedures. You will support surgeons in the operating room by assisting with pre-operative planning, case preparation, system setup, and real-time procedural workflows to ensure safe, accurate, and efficient outcomes. You will gain hands-on experience working with Mako technology—including CT-based planning, implant sizing, registration, and intra-operative support—while also developing strong competency in manual procedures, instrumentation, and OR protocols. Through shadowing experienced team members, supporting product demonstrations, and participating in labs and education programs, you will learn the systems, processes, and best practices that define world-class clinical support. This role requires adaptability, steady composure, and strong problem-solving in a fast-paced surgical environment. Because patients’ needs don’t follow business hours, you will also participate in on-call coverage, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, to ensure uninterrupted support for urgent cases and time-sensitive customer needs.
Then Responsibilities: list from "What You Will Do". We'll convert each bullet tounder Pay heading. Benefits: list as given. Schedule: we already have on-call coverage mentioned in responsibilities and about role. Could create Schedule section: "On-call coverage required during evenings, weekends, and holidays." But we might avoid duplication. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real specific content for it. The posting does mention on-call coverage. So we can have Schedule section with that sentence. We must not repeat content unnecessarily but it's okay if appears in multiple places? Might be considered duplication but we can keep it in Schedule and also mention in responsibilities. It's okay. Now produce HTML fragment. Check for any boilerplate: OSHA compliance sentence: "In compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, Stryker will provide a safe working environment for all employees." That's substantive about safety; we can keep in Additional Information or About the role? It's about safety. We'll include in Additional Information paragraph. Also sentence: "This position requires the handling of instruments that may have been contaminated by blood or bodily fluids." Keep. Also: "Ability to lift, push, pull, and carry up to 50 lbs. Ability to stand for extended periods. Ability to manage stressful OR situations with professionalism and focusExerting up to 50 lbs of force occasionally and/or up to 20 lbs of force constantly to move objects." There's a missing space before Exerting; we keep as is but maybe fix spacing? We should preserve original text exactly? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We can keep as is but maybe add a space for readability? Changing text could be considered altering. Safer to keep exactly as given, but we can add a space? Might be considered altering. I'd keep as given but maybe it's okay to fix obvious typo? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; fixing a missing space doesn't change substantive info. I'd add a space. Also: "Must have a valid driver’s license.Fluency in written and spoken English required." Missing space after period. We'll add space. Also: "Depending on customer requirements employees and new hires in sales and field roles that require access to customer accounts as a function of the job may be required to obtain various vaccinations as an essential function of their role." Missing space after requirements. We'll add space. We'll keep the rest. Now produce HTML. Structure:

Schedule
On-call coverage required during evenings, weekends, and holidays.
Check for any missing substantive info: The initial paragraph also mentions "Because patients’ needs don’t follow business hours, you will also participate in on-call coverage, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, to ensure uninterrupted support for urgent cases and time-sensitive customer needs." That's covered in schedule. Also mention "Alongside its customers around the world, Stryker impacts more than 150 million patients annually." That's in Additional Information paragraph after benefits? Actually appears after benefits: "Stryker offers innovative products and services in MedSurg, Neurotechnology, Orthopaedics and Spine that help improve patient and healthcare outcomes. Alongside its customers around the world, Stryker impacts more than 150 million patients annually." We missed that. Need to include that substantive info. Could add to About the role or a separate section like "About Stryker". But we should not invent a section if not present; we can add a paragraph under About the role or maybe under Additional Information. Since it's about the company, we could add a paragraph after About the role? But the instruction: do not repeat job title as heading; we can add a paragraph under About the role after the initial description? Might be okay to add a separateunder About the role that includes that sentence. However About the role currently is a single paragraph; we could split into two paragraphs: first about role, second about Stryker impact. That preserves info. Thus modify About the role to have two
elements? The instruction: Use
for prose. We can have multiple
under same heading? Usually you can have multiple
after heading. We'll do:
