Job Description:

Shriners Children's St. Louis is recruiting three fellowship-trained Pediatric Anesthesiologists to join its dedicated perioperative team. These positions offer focused pediatric practices, structured schedules, and an experienced multidisciplinary team. The practice features two operating rooms staffed daily, an all-physician anesthesia model without CRNA supervision, and a rotating 1-in-4 home-call schedule. There are no PICU or routine resident or fellow teaching responsibilities. Approximately 90% of clinical time is spent in the operating room, with the remainder dedicated to preoperative assessments and occasional PACU coverage. Surgical services include general orthopedics, spine, upper and lower extremity, sports medicine, and select plastic surgeries. The practice primarily serves mid- and lower-acuity pediatric patients, including children with complex neuromuscular conditions. Responsibilities include pre-anesthesia evaluations, individualized anesthetic planning, general and regional anesthesia, monitored anesthesia care, advanced airway management, and postoperative pain management. Physicians will collaborate across specialties, maintain clinical documentation, and participate in quality improvement, patient safety, protocol development, and peer review. Opportunities include ultrasound-guided blocks and scholarly activities. Shriners Children's provides specialty care to children up to age 18, regardless of their families' ability to pay or insurance status. Annual compensation: $565,843 - $651,510, based on relevant experience and departmental equity.
