Ivor O'Connor

I am one of three Physicians at the Aultman Hospital who are responsible for reviewing patients to determine if they are appropriate for inpatient vs observation stay.

My responsibilities also includes doing peers to peers for rejected claims.

As part of the Aultman Inpatient Medicine (AIM) team, I attend directly to admitted patients. My job also involves collaborating with Nurse Practioners at Aultman Hospital and at Orville Hospital, which is one of our peripheral hospitals.

As the team Doctor for the National Junior Female Football (Soccer) teams. I worked with these teams until December

2010 when I was assigned to the Male under 17 team. This under 17 team would later qualify for the 2011 FIFA under 17 world cup which was held in

Mexico. My job with the youth teams included supervising rehabilitation and prevention of sports related injuries and providing medical attention

during local and international tournaments. I was promoted to the position of Team Doctor for the Senior National Male team in August 2011. Since

then I have worked with a team of Doctors, Physiotherapists, Massage Therapist and Nutritionists, to prepare our national senior team for international

tournaments. This coordinated effort has played a major role in our team finishing in the runner-up positions at the 2015 and 2017 CONCACAF Gold

Cup tournaments. I also serve as a member of the Jamaica Football Federation's Medical Committee.

As a Medical Officer in the department of Orthopedics, I provided both surgical and non-surgical care to adult and pediatric patients
