Job description

With a senior surgeon retiring, this Southern Illinois community needs its next go-to orthopedic surgeon. You'll build a busy practice in a regional hub with a top-tier guarantee, a productivity model that rewards growth, and partnership in two lucrative hospital joint ventures.

• $875K starting salary in Year 1 (higher than what 90% of practices across the country offer) + $60K in sign-on/relocation
• Year 2+: $80/wRVU productivity model. Ortho here has historically produced 12,000+ wRVUs/year (~$960K); even ~10K wRVUs = ~$800K
• Partnership at end of Year 1 in two lucrative hospital JVs ($50K buy-in), each receiving 49% of hospital net collections on ALL ortho, podiatry & pain cases:
  • Established JV at a sister hospital: each partner received $52K last quarter alone
  • New JV at your home hospital: launches with your arrival & grows with your practice
• Join a respected physician-owned group with 25+ years in the region & 10 subspecialty-trained surgeons, w/ a partner on-site several times a month & the main campus 40 minutes away
• Smooth transition: the senior surgeon is staying on until you arrive
• Award-winning community hospital with 5 ORs, efficient swing rooms, Mako robot & on-site CRNA anesthesia
• No trauma designation & no 24/7 coverage requirement: 10 call days a month, mostly by phone, and most cases can be bedded & seen the next morning

This picturesque Southern Illinois community is home to about 40K people & is located just 70 minutes outside St. Louis, MO:

• Numerous housing options - live in a historic home in the heart of town, or build your dream home on a serene lakefront or wide-open meadow
• Mild 4-season climate: golf, wineries, hiking, & boating, with one of Illinois' largest lakes just minutes away
• Easy access to metro amenities, in a community where kids still play down the street & parents don't have to worry.
