A children's hospital which is part of a large healthcare system in coastal Florida is seeking a pediatric neurosurgeon to join their Level I pediatric trauma medical center. This is a terrific opportunity to build the pediatric program you envision with the support, guidance and cooperation of a truly physician-friendly hospital. A stable, long standing group of team-inspired administrators and neurosurgeons alike, make this opportunity special. You will join two pediatric neurosurgeons who are already established at the hospital. The third partner is leaving to move closer to family.

Enjoy a large referral base from this five-hospital healthcare system. The 156- bed facility offers the latest in technology and state-of-the art equipment including intra-operative MRI, robot, laser ablation starting soon and they employ an epileptologist. The program would welcome someone who has an interest in fetal repair of myelomeningoceles. Someone with epilepsy interests can also be well supported as the neurosurgeon who is leaving had epilepsy patients as part of their practice and the new person can be well supported in this.
