Per Diem Implementation Trainer — Surgical Services, Orthopedics
About MedGEO
MedGEO is a healthcare technology company building the infrastructure that connects healthcare systems to the modern data ecosystem. We leverage computer vision, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to automate clinical documentation, improve interoperability, and drive visibility and insights from complex healthcare environments.
Our platform is used directly by surgeons and nurses in live operating rooms — helping clinicians focus on patient care by eliminating the documentation burden in real time. MedGEO works with healthcare providers across ambulatory surgery centers, hospitals, oral surgery centers, specialty practices, and outpatient facilities to modernize operational workflows through intelligent healthcare technology.
We are a mission-focused MedTech startup with a major nationwide partnership launching shortly. This is a unique opportunity to contribute meaningfully from the ground up — and for the right person, to grow into a full-time role within approximately 8 months with early equity participation.
About This Role
MedGEO is seeking an experienced Implementation Trainer with a clinical background as a Surgical Technician — ideally with strong orthopedic experience — to support the rollout of automated workflow solutions within perioperative environments at a major health system.
This role is ideal for someone who understands the realities of operating room workflows and can bridge the gap between clinical staff and technology adoption. You will work directly with OR teams to train staff, support workflow transitions, and ensure successful implementation of MedGEO's automation solutions in a live clinical environment.
