This role offers a defined, ongoing relationship with Southwest Baptist University alongside a procedurally advanced clinic practice — all within a community-based setting.

The Role

Based in the Kerry & Synda Douglas Medical Office Building , the clinic provides comprehensive non-surgical musculoskeletal care for athletes of all ages and competition levels — from youth and high school athletes to university competitors and active adults.

Procedural capabilities include:

• Ultrasound-guided injections
• Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy
