Orthopedic Surgeon Opportunity
In the fall of 2007, the practice was designated as a Federally Qualified Health Center, providing enhanced access to health care services for all members of the community, and allowing the practice to employ providers holding H-1B and J-1 visas. We received a multi-year New Access Points grant from the Federal government in the fall of 2007. Our inaugural fully integrated electronic medical record system became operational in 2011.
For over 30 years we have provided care to a service area population numbering about 35,000 people.
Unlimited potential exists for Orthopedic Surgeons to join our practice, serving at Medical Center. These opportunities have come about due to the expansion of our services to the community and the Medical Center. The communities we serve are economically, culturally, and socially inviting.
As an employee, the successful Orthopedic Surgery candidate will receive a competitive salary, generous health and welfare benefits package, professional liability insurance, CME reimbursement, relocation assistance, and education loan repayment, if applicable. Physicians also receive an annual allowance for licensing, DEA registration, professional society membership, and medical journal subscriptions.
