Physician Assistant, Orthopedic Surgery - Spine

TRIA Orthopedics’ Spine Surgery division is seeking a full‑time, certified
Physician Assistant to join our collaborative, patient‑centered care team. This
is an exciting opportunity to support a busy, well‑established orthopedic spine
surgeon while working alongside an experienced PA and a strong network of MDs,
PAs, NPs, and nursing staff who are deeply committed to team-based spine care.

What You’ll Do

* Serve as a key member of the surgical spine team with a strong focus
on first-assist responsibilities, hospital management, and shared rounding.
* Provide  independent patient care in clinic, including post‑operative visits,
established patient follow‑ups, and new consults.
* Participate in a shared call rotation with the larger surgical spine PA team.
* Work primarily at TRIA Shakopee and TRIA Bloomington, with surgical cases at
Methodist Hospital, TRIA Outpatient Surgery Center, and St. Francis Medical
Center.

Who We’re Looking For

* A dynamic, motivated PA with orthopedic spine or neurosurgical experience.
* Candidates with general orthopedic surgical experience will also be
considered.
* This position is not suited for new graduates due to the level of surgical
and independent practice required.

What You Can Expect

* A supportive environment with extensive onboarding and tandem training, as
this role replaces a long‑tenured PA retiring from the practice.
* A highly collaborative culture where providers share knowledge, support each
other, and work together to deliver exceptional spine care.
