Job description

A Unique Partnership Opportunity

Practice Models:

Option 1: Elective-Focused, No Call

Practice entirely between two community hospitals, Monday through Friday, with no night or weekend call. This model is approximately 70% endoscopy and 30% general surgery, with an all-elective volume and minimal ER involvement - typically no more than five consults per week.

Option 2: Elective-Focused with Weekend Call

Identical to Option 1, with the addition of 1-in-5 weekend call (Friday night through Monday morning), compensated with additional pay.

Option 3: Surgicalist/Elective Model

Practice as a Surgicalist as well as performing elective surgeries on a 10-week rotation - 3 weeks as Surgicalist and 7 weeks in-office/elective. Call runs just a little better than 1-in-3 nights, with 1-in-5 weekends. One surgeon covers weekdays, with two covering weekends. There is no trauma at any facility, and each site is supported by a Hospitalist service. Endoscopy responsibilities remain part of this model.

Compensation & Benefits:

• Salary guarantee with productivity bonus
• Robust benefits package
• $100,000 loan repayment, disbursed over three years (1/3 at start, 1/3 at the beginning of year two, 1/3 at the beginning of year three)
• Moving expense assistance
• Sign-on bonus

All the Perks of a Major Metro

Downtown St. Louis is just 20-25 minutes away - Cardinals baseball, Blues hockey, City SC soccer, the Gateway Arch, the Zoo, the Botanical Garden, and a food and nightlife scene that punches well above its weight. Hop the Shiloh-Scott MetroLink and skip the parking entirely on game days, concerts, or museum runs.

Small-Town Charm, Close to Everything

These communities trade gridlock for tree-lined streets , and a downtown where the restaurants are local and the shop owners know your name. Housing runs the gamut from starter homes to sprawling country estates, the schools are svery stron, and the outdoors - hunting, fishing, boating - is right out your back door. Real community, real space, real proximity to a major city when you want it.
