Medical Assistant Gap Year Program (Spring Start 2025)

Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine • Full-time • Chicago, Illinois, United States • 2d ago

About our Program:
Graduated students interested in pursuing a career in a medical/healthcare related field are encouraged to consider this opportunity. Specifically, this is an excellent experience for students planning a career as a Physician, Physician Assistant, or Nurse Practitioner who plan a “gap year” before matriculation to professional school. Our program is committed to providing a holistic understanding of the healthcare landscape, preparing interns for the challenges and responsibilities that lie ahead in their chosen health professions by exposing you to clinical and administrative roles within the practice.

Interns will gain comprehensive education and experience in all aspects of clinical operations and workflow, not limited to patient education, rooming patients, taking histories & physicals, learning billing procedures, and various other administrative responsibilities. Throughout this internship, participants will delve into the intricacies of outpatient specialty care within orthopedics, gaining valuable insights and hands-on experience. Opportunities will also be provided to shadow surgical procedures and receive mentoring by the Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine clinical team.

As a Gap Year Intern, you'll work closely with healthcare professionals and administrative staff, gaining diverse experiences in patient care, operational efficiency, and innovative healthcare delivery models. This role offers an unparalleled opportunity to enhance your understanding of the healthcare system, preparing you for advanced studies and future careers in the medical field.

This is a full-time, one or two-year, paid position. Some part-time applicants with potential for transition to full-time may be accepted on a case-by-case basis.

About Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine:
At Genesis, our goal is simple: free our patients to be more active, more athletic, and to move freely in their bodies – accessible to everyone, not just the select few with the right commercial insurance.

To accomplish this mission, we've reinvented the care delivery model, trying different ideas until we discovered a blueprint for delivering the high-quality care our reputation was known for, while also making the prices more ethical and affordable. We're honored to report that, after much work, 75% of our patient base is Medicaid-eligible patients, and repeatedly included on the Inc. 5000 list, making us one of the fastest-growing privately held businesses in the United States. We were able to accomplish these both in tandem by combining a deep clinical expertise with a clear-eyed administrative rethink about how we deliver care – all while remaining passionate about the mission and our patients.

If you’re looking for a place with more autonomy (where you operate at the top of your license), a strong mission and culture, and an opportunity to serve the underserved, we’d love to consider you for the team!

Minimum level of education required: Bachelor's Degree
Ability to reliably travel to several locations in a region and across clinic network as needed

Please submit a resume and brief cover letter that highlights your qualifications and interest in the position. Remember to include any and all volunteer and prior internship experience.

We are hiring for Spring 2025 starts with 12-24 month commitments.

Access to Genesis Orthopedics 401k after 1 year of service per plan guidelines
Paid Holidays (6)
Dependent Care Assistance Plan
Life Insurance + Long Term Disability
