Physical Therapy Assistant Job at Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine in S
Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, Skokie, IL, US
Job Description
Who should apply:
Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine is looking for a talented Physical Therapy Assistant to help support (alongside our Physical Therapists) a physical therapy practice in conjunction with our thriving orthopedic surgery practice. We’re looking for an expert physical therapy assistant with 2+ years of experience.
About Genesis:
Our goal is simple – to free our patients to be more active, more athletic, and to move freely in their bodies – accessible to everyone, not just the select few. That our patients, regardless of walk of life, move more freely, function better, and experience life to the full.
Thriving in the world requires mobility and freedom from pain, but our healthcare system often makes quality orthopedic care inaccessible to many who need it most – those on all public healthcare plans or those who lack insurance. We won’t be able to solve our present medical challenges with a care delivery model designed in the past, which is why Genesis is constantly innovating.
This role will help us develop a physical therapy practice that will serve the underserved, who often have 45-minute drive times from their residence to their place of therapy (an untenable proposition).
Job Type: Full-time or Part-time
We’re excited to hear from you.
