Department Overview

The appointee shall provide services as assigned by the supervisor in furtherance of the university’s missions and goals of teaching, research, patient care, and public service. The physician is expected to actively participate in the education, research, patient care and administrative programs of the Department of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation, with an emphasis on Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. This appointee will be primarily a clinic focused position with a practice that emphasizes musculoskeletal care. The position actively participates in all aspects of the clinical care of patients as outlined by the Chairman of the Department of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation.

Function/Duties of Position

Clinical: This position is in the Department of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation.

This position will help to provide primarily outpatient diagnosis, management and rehabilitative care in non-surgical clinics for patients as they navigate recovery from musculoskeletal, neurologic conditions and associated functional impairments.  They will help patients to assess condition, needs and expectations to develop a treatment plan that meets their rehabilitation needs. This may include therapies, medications, consultations, orthotics/ prosthetics, pain modalities, injections, musculoskeletal ultrasound and diagnostic evaluations including electrodiagnostic studies.  As OHSU has developed a new acute inpatient PM&R consultation service we expect this appointee to participate at a smaller FTE in some general acute inpatient rehabilitation initial consultations.  The inpatient versus outpatient split can be adjusted over time to best fit the clinical need.  This position will be expected to take daytime consults, but no overnight call. 

Education:  Teaches trainees and support staff in their area of professional expertise. Teaching is done through assigned lectures to be given during the course of the year and through teaching in the course of performing their own job by modeling best practices, mentoring trainees, guiding learning through delegating graduated and focused levels of responsibility. Assistant Professors have a demonstrated competence in teaching and are knowledgeable about relevant guidelines from all applicable regulating bodies. (E.g. ACGME competencies for clinical faculty).

Research: May maintain a program of scholarly research activity directed toward improved understanding of the complex rehabilitation needs after a diagnosis of cancer. May engage in public service through consultative activities with OHSU and non-University groups as approved by the Chair. May also participate in additional departmental or hospital administration as approved by the Chair.

Administration: Administrative and other duties may be assigned based on Department needs and areas of expertise and interest. There will be opportunities to participate in Departmental management and to serve on institutional committees.

Required Qualifications
