Job description

Make your move to Alaska! Experience the midnight sun in the summer, a front-row seat to the northern lights in the winter, and the opportunity to advance your career as you broaden your scope of practice.

The Opportunity

Join Fairbanks Memorial Hospital (FMH) as a CRNA and make a direct impact on the Interior Alaska community. This rare three-week-on, two-week-off schedule gives you 20 weeks each year to explore Alaska’s outdoors, such as hiking, fishing, hunting, skiing, snowmobiling, and northern lights viewing. Experience a bread-and-butter caseload including general surgery, orthopedics, OB/GYN, ENT, podiatry, healthy peds, and GI procedures, with CRNAs managing cases with physician oversight. While high-acuity cases are less frequent, the work is dynamic and engaging, keeping your skills sharp as part of a rural health system, without the constant intensity of a trauma-heavy environment. Shifts are 12 hours, but many days end earlier, offering even more flexibility and ensuring a balanced schedule with predictable downtime.

• Compensation Salary DOE between $315K-$378K | $40K sign-on bonus | $15K annual retention after sign on period| $5K performance incentive | $5K CME allowance
• Patients 4-5 ORs daily with one additional out-of-OR assignment (OB or GI Procedures). No craniotomies or hearts.
• Team 5 full-time Anesthesiologists and ultimately 12 CRNAs.
• Schedule 3 weeks on, 2 weeks off rotation. Our schedule follows a "work hard, play hard" approach, with condensed work blocks and 20 weeks off.
