What if cost barriers were removed and blue-chip talent pipelines between universities and practices were established? What if you never had to even post your jobs and that work was done for you via technology that refreshes your listings every single day? What if practices could begin conversation with recruits years out from planned start dates as trainees progressed through residency and fellowship? Working at full form this would be like taking orders for recruits a year in advance to allow us to bring them to residents, fellows, and practicing orthopaedic surgeons (academic and private) across our 140 universities and hundreds of private practices for seamless coordination. Can you imagine a world where you recruited and signed your recruits several years in advance? We can.
There’s no one better positioned to deliver such a platform than The Academic Orthopaedic Consortium (AOC) whose membership base includes 140 University-based orthopaedic programs and whose 2,700 members include Orthopaedic Chairs, Vice Chairs, Division Chiefs, Chief Administrative Officers, and 2,000 Residents and Fellows. In the private practice world, we have ties to 700+ private orthopaedic practices across the country.
JobsInOrtho was created by the AOC in response to our residents and fellows demanding a solution to reduce the anxiety/frustration of identifying what jobs were even available (let alone navigating the way to landing one). With approximately 80% of our graduating trainees entering private practice, it only makes sense to create a platform that offers high visibility to ALL job postings across private and academic practices.
Lastly, what employers want most are terrific candidates who will be great partners and who hit the ground running. Because 78% of residents and fellows state that their #1 complaint about their training program is that they are “not appropriately prepared for the business of orthopaedics”, the Academic Orthopaedic Consortium has begun providing NATIONAL RESIDENCY CURRICULUM in partnership with ARCOS (Association of Residency Coordinators in Orthopaedic Surgery) and the AAOE (a terrific association that encompasses 700 private orthopaedic practices). We are helping our blue chip talent to become better prepared for what’s next so that they hit the ground running for you.
Because we recognize that the world of Orthopaedics has been financially devastated by COVID-19 and because we want to assist in this year’s recruitment cycles, we are personally underwriting the costs for ALL EMPLOYERS to have free unlimited job posts through May 31, 2021.
Thank you to the Academic Orthopaedic Consortium Chairs and CAOs, and especially to my AOC leadership team, for the privilege of working together to better position Orthopaedic Surgeons, Executives, PA/NP and those that employ them in a transformative way that makes better sense for all involved.
