What are the responsibilities and job description for the Athletic Trainer/Medical Education Specialist position at Arthrex Pittsburgh?
Recognized as a #1 Top Workplace by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Arthrex Pittsburgh (formerly Mid-Atlantic Surgical Systems) is a leading regional agency representing Arthrex — a global leader in minimally invasive orthopedic and surgical technology (www.arthrex.com).
We proudly serve the Mid-Atlantic region, including Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio, West Virginia, Western Maryland, and Eastern Kentucky, delivering innovative solutions and exceptional support to healthcare professionals.
We are currently seeking a passionate and clinically-minded Athletic Trainer / Medical Education Specialist to join our team in the Pittsburgh area. This is a unique opportunity to stay connected to the sports medicine world, work alongside orthopedic surgeons, and contribute to better patient outcomes — all while enjoying a more balanced schedule.
In this role, you’ll fulfill Arthrex’s mission of “Helping Surgeons Treat Their Patients Better.”
As a Medical Education Specialist, you’ll support surgical cases, educate clinicians on Arthrex technologies, and serve as a trusted clinical resource. You’ll complete a robust hands-on training program covering anatomy, biomechanics, surgical techniques, intraoperative problem-solving, and product innovation — setting you up for long-term career success in the medical device space.
This is not a sales role — it’s ideal for someone who enjoys teaching, solving clinical problems, and staying engaged with cutting-edge technology in orthopedics.

- Leverage your clinical and anatomical knowledge in a new, rewarding setting
- No quotas, no sales pressure — focus on education and outcomes
- Maintain a more family-friendly schedule compared to the traditional AT setting

- Bachelor’s degree required
- 2 years of experience in Athletic Training, Exercise Physiology, or clinical setting preferred
- Excellent communication and presentation skills
- Highly organized, adaptable, and self-driven
- Comfortable making decisions and taking initiative in a fast-paced environment

Why Join Us?
- Access to industry-leading medical education and training
- Opportunity to work closely with top surgeons and surgical teams
- Competitive compensation, excellent benefits, and 401(k)
- Positive, fast-paced, and team-first culture
- Be part of a company investing in growth and innovation
