Becker’s Healthcare -- Spine and Orthopedic Podcast · Outpatient Migration and Independence in Orthopedic Practice with Robert C. Rhoad, MD · 11 Feb 2026 podcast

Certainly.

I think that we've seen pendulum swings over the years, and certainly for some time, orthopedic surgeons would gear towards employment, and then in the years more recently, private equity.

Right now, I think that there is a very heightened interest in remaining independent, as our group is.

Within that, it takes some extra work and it takes some ingenuity.

Our group and myself are

I am one of the representatives to our board with PELTO, which is an organization that really empowers independent groups from east to west coast.

And that's been an exciting opportunity for us.

Sure.

And again, I think that the way I look at it is preserving physician independence overall.

And every area, every group will have its own culture.

But with the group PELTO, which stands for Physician Empowered Leadership of Transformational Organizations, which is a mouthful, but the organization, we're able to allow groups with help and collaboration to maintain their independence if that's what they so wish to do.

You know, these are definitely some growing areas of interest, and we see that organization growing.

It's been exciting as we figure out a lot of ways we can help people achieve what their goals are independently.

Well, let's see.
