• Balanced high-acuity practice: Focus on liver transplantation and advanced transplant anesthesia while maintaining exposure to selected cardiac anesthesia cases. Faculty do not cover both services simultaneously.
• Program growth and innovation: Join an expanding academic division with opportunities to advance transplant services, participate in quality initiatives, and contribute to clinical research and program development.
• Predictable call structure: Home beeper call approximately 13 weeks annually, overtime compensation at $300/hour, optional late-call premiums, and structured call tiers.
• Additional earning opportunities: Optional Stone Center shifts with premium hourly compensation. Practice personally administered anesthesia without resident or CRNA coverage.
• Immigration friendly: H-1B visa candidates are encouraged to apply.
