The Inspiration Behind JobsInOrtho

At its core, JobsInOrtho was created to transform the orthopaedic job search experience. Residents, fellows, and practicing surgeons needed one trusted, comprehensive source to find the best orthopaedic jobs — and employers needed a more efficient way to connect with qualified candidates. Rather than navigating fragmented listings and multiple platforms, our vision was clear: build a single, reliable orthopedic job board that brings everything together.

Powered by the Strength of AOC Connect

JobsInOrtho was built by AOC Connect — the Academic Orthopaedic Consortium — a thriving community of more than 5,000 members, including:

• Academic Orthopaedic Chairs, Vice Chairs, Division Chiefs, and CAOs
• Private practice orthopaedic surgeons and executives
• Over 3,000 orthopaedic residents and fellows
• 200 university-based orthopaedic programs
• 100+ health systems and academic-affiliated private practices

Through AOC Connect’s relationships with over 700 private orthopaedic practices, we have unparalleled insight into the needs of both job seekers and employers.

"The AOC is a great, generous organization helping orthopedic surgeons navigate the real world job process, whether one is coming right out of training or from multiple other positions. They provide connections to reputable organizations and other resources to help us. It indeed fulfills an area of expertise often not discussed or offered in residency."

Bonnie Chien, MD, Clinical Fellow, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital

Addressing Real Challenges in the Orthopedic Job Search

Our platform was created in direct response to feedback from the next generation of orthopaedic surgeons. Residents and fellows told us they struggled with job search anxiety and a lack of clear information about available positions. With approximately 80% of graduating trainees entering private practice, the need for a centralized, user-friendly job board was clear.
