Job Description

Most orthopedic practices treat non-operative sports medicine like a waiting room for surgery. Patients cycle through, get conservative care checked off the list, and get handed off to the surgeon. The non-op physician is a step in the process, not a destination. 

That's not what this is. 

At Genesis, non-operative care isn't a consolation prize — it's a core conviction. We built our entire model around the belief that surgery should be a last resort, not a first option. Which means the sports medicine physician here isn't triaging patients toward the OR. They're the main event for a massive, diverse patient population that deserves someone who takes non-surgical care as seriously as the knife. 

If you've spent your career believing that — and looking for a platform that actually means it — this is where you practice. 

 

The Work 

You'll diagnose and treat the full spectrum of acute and chronic sports-related injuries and MSK conditions — across athletes, active patients, and everyone in between — using every non-surgical tool available. 

In-Office Procedures 

  • Ultrasound-guided injections — corticosteroid, hyaluronic acid, and beyond 
  • Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and regenerative medicine techniques 
  • Musculoskeletal ultrasound for both diagnosis and procedural guidance 
  • Bracing, splinting, and orthotic management 

Clinical Care 

  • Personalized non-surgical treatment plans integrating PT, rehabilitation, injection therapy, and performance programming 
  • Imaging interpretation — X-ray, MRI, ultrasound — guiding real-time clinical decisions 
  • Concussion management and return-to-play protocol oversight 
  • Injury prevention and performance optimization for athletes at every level 

Collaboration 

  • Direct integration with Genesis's in-house orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists, and care teams — because the best non-op physician knows exactly when to escalate and how to hand off well 
  • Sideline and event coverage for local sports teams, schools, and athletic organizations 

Beyond the Clinic 

  • Clinical research and product development opportunities 
  • Team physician roles with professional sports organizations and local institutions 
  • Community outreach and sports medicine education 

 

Who We're Looking For 

MD or DO with board certification or eligibility in Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Emergency Medicine, or PM&R — plus a fellowship in Sports Medicine. Licensed in Illinois with DEA registration. 

You're procedure-fluent. Ultrasound-guided work, regenerative medicine, diagnostic imaging — these aren't things you dabble in. They're core to how you practice. 

You're a believer in the non-operative model. Not because you can't do surgery, but because you've seen what excellent conservative care actually accomplishes. You don't refer to surgery out of habit. You refer when it's right. 

You thrive in a multidisciplinary environment. Genesis is a full-spectrum MSK platform. You'll work alongside surgeons, PTs, and APPs daily. The best outcomes here come from teams, not silos. 

You want the full range of patients. Youth athletes. Weekend warriors. Medicaid patients with chronic MSK conditions who've never had access to this level of sports medicine care. The breadth is the point. 

You're mission-aligned. Our patient population spans every socioeconomic background. For a lot of them, you're the first sports medicine physician who's ever actually had time for them. That has to mean something to you. 

 

The Infrastructure 

One thing that makes the clinical work here genuinely better: the tools are actually there. 

  • Advanced imaging at every location — X-ray, 3D ultrasound, in-practice PT/OT, and MRI 
  • In-house physical therapy — so your treatment plans get executed, not just prescribed 
  • EPIC EMR across all sites 
  • Flexible locations across Chicagoland — we can accommodate multiple sites within the practice 

 

The Stack 

  • Competitive base salary + performance-based incentives 
  • Full benefits — medical, dental, vision, retirement 
  • Malpractice coverage 
  • CME allowance 
  • Clinical research and product development opportunities 
  • Team physician roles with major sports organizations and local schools 
  • Support from Illinois' largest healthcare network 

 

About Genesis 

Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine is a full-spectrum MSK platform — surgery, physical therapy, and everything in between — operating across 16 clinics throughout Chicagoland. We run clinical trials. We serve Medicaid patients at scale. We've built a care delivery model that delivers care the most underserved patients in Chicago can access, and that the most demanding patients still want. 

Non-operative sports medicine isn't a department here. It's a philosophy. 

 

If you're a fellowship-trained sports medicine physician who's ready to practice in a system that was actually built around what you do — we want to hear from you.
