Christopher Jobe MD

Dr. Jobe is the former chairman of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Loma Linda University, past president of the American Shoulder and Elbow Society, and author of many peer-reviewed articles and book chapters.

It was during Dr. Jobe’s residency at Duke University that arthroscopy first became widely used. He became fascinated how the arthroscope increased diagnostic accuracy and treatment options with joints. This prompted him to do a sports medicine fellowship. As a corresponding member in the German Shoulder and Elbow Society, he met the first surgeons who explored the use of Ultrasound. Highly intrigued by this new tool that, like arthroscopy, increased diagnostic accuracy, Dr. Jobe became a champion of the use of ultrasound by the orthopaedic surgeon. For the past 14 years Dr. Jobe has used ultrasound daily in his practice, both academic and private, and he hopes to share this powerful tool with his colleagues.
