Job description

Due to a relocating doctor, an academic institution in the Midwest is seeking a neurosurgeon to join one of its community hospitals.

This hospital is a Level III Trauma Center with 350 beds and the only hospital in the city. Within their 12-county catchment area, there is a major opportunity to capture more patients due to little or no neurosurgeon presence (outside of their practice) in their target market and between the metropolitan areas.

This community hospital serves as a tertiary referral center and teaching hospital for the region. The hospital is a leader in the Health system and in the state for quality outcomes in a number of categories, including patient safety and stroke care. The hospital embraces state-of-the-art technological developments, having undergone expansive renovations in the last few years with more than $8 million invested in facility upgrades. The Cancer Center provides medical and radiation oncology expertise and the latest clinical research to treat all types and stages of cancer.

Practice Highlights:

1. ~120 cases the first year, 250 once established
2. Cases leaving the area that can be captured
3. Call is 1:3
4. Midlevel support
5. 18 bed ICU with full complement of intensivist and hospitalist support as well as CCRN’s with neurosurgery experience

8. Marketing team and physician liaison to help the new neurosurgeon establish, keep, and grow important relationships with referral network
9. Block OR time available
