Shasta Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine

The practice benefits from having a full range of services under one roof, including x-ray, physical therapy, orthopedic surgery, sports medicine, and interventional pain specialists. Their clinical focus is on diagnosis and treatment so patients can resume their lives, and they explicitly do not perform opiate management. The practice is described as busy, established, and growing, with multiple divisions seeking advanced practice providers including interventional spine, foot and ankle surgery, and a musculoskeletal walk-in clinic. For nursing professionals, specifically nurse practitioners, Shasta Orthopaedics offers opportunities to work side by side with physicians seeing follow-ups and new patients. The employer states that on-the-job education and training in specific diagnosis and treatments will be provided. NP positions are available in their interventional spine division, foot and ankle surgery division (NP required), and musculoskeletal walk-in clinic. The work environment appears to be a fast-paced, specialized outpatient orthopedic setting rather than a traditional hospital nursing role.

The organization's stated focus is on diagnosis and treatment so patients can move on with their lives. They emphasize a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary approach with the full range of diagnostic, therapeutic, conservative, and surgical treatment services available under one roof. They do not engage in opiate management.
