Northeast Academic Medical Center Seeks Pediatric Neurosurgeon

A well-established Academic program in the Northeast is excited to welcome a pediatric fellowship-trained neurosurgeon to join the pediatric neurosurgery division. This is a terrific opportunity to build a busy clinical practice, be involved in collaborative research, and teach neurosurgery residents. The faculty are eager to welcome an enthusiastic pediatric neurosurgeon with interests in growing the current program. A Directorship is available for those with experience.

This University Hospital is thriving having just opened a Children’s Hospital and Cancer Center. The latter will include an intraoperative MRI suite. Neuroscience research is a major University initiative and will be housed in a new dedicated building also under construction.

The practice covers two hospitals including a 409-bed Level 1 trauma center and Designated Primary Stroke Center with a 14-bed Neuro-ICU. The University Health System serves 1.8 million people in the region and is the area’s largest employer. The secondary hospital is a 306-bed hospital nationally recognized for its orthopedic program, spine surgery, bariatric services and maternity services.

Enjoy the best of both worlds: The neurosurgery group is a private, physician run practice affiliated with the University and state. In addition to the compensation provided by the group, additional compensation is provided by the state and the physicians enjoy state benefits and retirement.
