About the Opportunity At Georgia Bone & Joint, we are a leader in orthopedic
medical care with growing practices around south Atlanta. We are looking for a

Fayetteville, GA.

When you join us, you work alongside seasoned Physical and Occupational

volunteer hours help you to recharge.
* Commitment to Your Growth: $1,000 annual allowance, paid days off for
continuing education courses and Full MedBridge subscription for continuing

and eager to grow with mentorship and support.

and focusing on the patient's goals.

therapist, provides a healthy work-life balance, and puts quality of care above
