Understanding the Role

Position Overview

Ivinson Memorial Hospital is recruiting an advanced practice provider, PA or NP, to support a busy orthopedic surgeon in Laramie, Wyoming. This is a newly created position within Ivinson Medical Group, built to extend the surgeon's capacity across both clinic and the operating room. The provider carries a mix of independent clinic visits, shared surgical patients being prepared for surgery, and first-assist responsibilities in the OR.

Role Focus

  • Sees own clinic patients and manages shared patients being set up for surgery
  • Evaluates patients and assists in surgical planning
  • First-assists in the operating room, roughly one OR day per week
  • No call responsibilities
  • Minimal inpatient duties; does not routinely round, with occasional discharge as needed
  • Dedicated support for one orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Burk Young

Schedule

The week is built around four patient-facing days: three in clinic and one in the operating room. The OR day runs about once a week as needed, with a typical volume of 7 to 12 procedures. In clinic, the daily target is about 18 patients. The provider does not take call, and inpatient duties are minimal.

Qualifications

  • PA or NP; either is acceptable provided an NP holds surgical first-assist certification
  • Orthopedic experience preferred; other surgical experience is helpful
  • Comfort first-assisting in the OR and managing a shared surgical clinic

New Position Context

This is a new position rather than a backfill. It was created recently to add capacity for a busy orthopedic surgeon whose clinic and surgical volume support a dedicated APP. Because the role is new, there is no prior production history for the position, which is why compensation is a straight base rather than production-based.

Reporting and Leadership

The provider works directly with and supports Dr. Burk Young within Ivinson Medical Group's orthopedic practice.
