Neurosurgeon Needed for Surgical Hospital in the South, No Trauma Call

A well-established surgical hospital in the South is recruiting a spine focused neurosurgeon to the community. There are currently six neurosurgeons in three different private practice groups that admit to the hospital, and three of the senior neurosurgeons have plans to retire in the near future. The new hire will be joining the private practice group which currently has four neurosurgeons.

This is a 100% elective spine only practice. The incoming neurosurgeon will take on patient referrals from the outgoing surgeons. They will also have the opportunity for new business as the surgery center is very well known in the community. There is no ER call and call is 1 to 2 evenings per week and every 4th to 5th weekend for patient call. There is the opportunity to take call at other community hospitals if desired.

The group admits to three hospitals.

Opportunity Highlights:
• Block OR time available with additional ORs being added this year
• Hospital sponsored income guarantee, sign-on bonus, options to buy into surgery hospital after 2 years
• Elective spine practice with no trauma call expectation
• Ability to take call at community hospitals if desired
• Call schedule of 1 to 2 evenings per week and every 4th to 5th weekend for patient call
