Orthopedic APP Clinical Fellowship (Non-Accredited)

The Opportunity

This isn't an observation year. It's not shadowing with a stipend. From day one, you're embedded across the full continuum of orthopedic care — clinic, hospital, and OR — with responsibility that grows as your competency does.

• Independent orthopedic evaluations and treatment planning
• Frailty and acute injury management
• Post-op visits and wound care
• Injections, splinting, casting, and in-office procedures
• Imaging review and clinical decision-making
• Daily inpatient rounding
• ED and floor consults
• Orders, documentation, and discharge planning
• Serving as the liaison between surgeons and hospital teams
• Surgical first assist
• Pre- and post-operative care coordination
• Progressive OR responsibility as skills develop

Who This Is For

You just graduated — or you're about to. You're BC or board-eligible. You're licensed in Illinois or getting there. And you've known for a while that orthopedics is where you want to be. You're coachable. This year will move fast and push hard. The APPs who get the most out of it are the ones who stay hungry, ask good questions, and don't confuse confidence with competence. You're comfortable with complexity. Clinic to hospital to OR, sometimes in the same day. Multiple sites, rotating schedules, real call coverage. If that sounds like a lot — it is. If it sounds like exactly what you've been waiting for — keep reading.
