Job description

Position Overview

St. Luke’s Neurosurgical Associates (SLNA) based in the Lehigh Valley of Eastern Pennsylvania is seeking a BC/BE Neurosurgeon to join a collegial, well-established, hospital‑employed group of 10 neurosurgeons and 1 interventional neuroradiologist. This pre‑eminent neurosurgery practice is located in the Quakertown/Sellersville region of Pennsylvania with a strong referral base and a solid track record of developing multidisciplinary neuroscience programs with administrative support.

The special feature of this group is the quality of the partners and their scope of practice. There is excellent multidisciplinary collaboration with neurology, neuro‑oncology, physiatry, pain management and other services within the institution. Successful candidates will be comfortable with all aspects of general neurosurgery. Fellowship training in General and Complex Spine is preferred, but other subspecialty interests will be entertained. Candidates will be expected to provide on‑call general neurosurgery coverage. Primary call will be equitably shared with two other providers per month on average (1 in 3 call). Significant inpatient support from trauma, medicine, and ICU services. Block OR time available for new providers in fully equipped ORs.

Features of the practice

• Network comprised of 16 campuses. Primary neurosurgical call is dedicated to physically cover the Neuroscience Hub (Level 1 Trauma, Comprehensive Stroke Center) as well as two level 2 trauma centers; ER calls can come from all locations, but any urgent/surgical case is transferred to one of the above.
• Comprehensive Stroke Center, with separate cerebrovascular/endovascular call structure.
• Minimal pediatric neurosurgery cases – stabilized and transferred.
• Electronic office and hospital medical records (Epic), including home access to PACS.
• Referrals developed from extensive Network owned PCP practices, 13 Network ERs, neurology, spine & pain practice, oncology, ENT, etc. No in‑network neurosurgery competition. 1 spine‑focused orthopedic surgeon in the Network – very collegial relationship.
• Extensive core of Advanced Practitioners to assist in ORs, facilitate rounding, office volumes, etc.
• Neurosurgery group has recently transitioned to vertical AP model with each neurosurgeon partnering with one AP. New hire will enjoy a similar opportunity.
• Medical draw area of 1.1M residents in 11 counties.

Benefits

• Team‑based care with well‑educated, dedicated support staff.
• A culture in which innovation is highly valued.
• Work/life balance & flexibility.
• Exceptional compensation package, starting bonus, and relocation reimbursement.
• Rich benefits package including malpractice, health and dental insurance, and CME allowance.
• Teaching, research, quality improvement and strategic development opportunities.
