Athletic Trainer

Anderson Orthopaedic Clinic is seeking an Athletic Trainer to join the team of Dr. Richard Edgar, Primary Care Sports Medicine Physician.

This is an excellent opportunity for an Athletic Trainer seeking to build a career in sports medicine and orthopaedics while developing both clinical and practice management skills in a stable outpatient environment.

Sports Medicine Experience: Work directly with a Primary Care Sports Medicine physician and gain exposure to a broad range of musculoskeletal and sports medicine conditions.

Hands-On Clinical Development: Develop experience with diagnostic ultrasound, ultrasound-guided procedures, injections, concussion management, casting, splinting, bracing, and other outpatient procedures.
