• Develop individualized treatment plans, including medication management, rehabilitation recommendations, bracing, splinting, casting, and referrals.
• Perform procedures within scope of practice, including injections, aspirations, fracture care, casting, splinting, and other musculoskeletal interventions.
• Collaborate closely with orthopaedic surgeons and fellow advanced practice providers to ensure exceptional patient outcomes.
• Educate patients and families on diagnoses, treatment plans, recovery expectations, and preventative care.
