Job Summary and Responsibilities

As our Anesthesiologist, you will join CHI Health Creighton University Medical Center - Bergan Mercy, the flagship academic medical center for CHI Health and Creighton University School of Medicine in Omaha, Nebraska. As part of a collaborative department of 23 anesthesiologists and 27 CRNAs, you will provide exceptional perioperative care in a 391‑bed Level I Trauma Center serving a complex and diverse patient population. You will practice in a collaborative care team model with CRNAs and play a key role in supervising anesthesiology residents as our newly established residency program launches in 2026. The department performs more than 20,000 anesthetics annually, offering exposure to an extensive variety of surgical specialties and clinical experiences, all supported by the EPIC electronic medical record (EMR). Every day you will provide anesthetic care across a full spectrum of surgical services, including general surgery, thoracic surgery, orthopedics, obstetrics and gynecology, urology, ENT, neurosurgery, trauma, and emergency surgical cases. You will collaborate closely with surgeons, CRNAs, nursing staff, and multidisciplinary teams to deliver safe, evidence‑based anesthesia care for both routine and complex patients. In addition to your clinical responsibilities, you will supervise and mentor CRNAs, anesthesiology residents, medical students, and future SRNAs while helping shape a culture of education and continuous improvement. The schedule is designed to promote both clinical excellence and work‑life balance, with a shared general call schedule averaging five primary call shifts per month, including three dedicated in‑house nocturnist coverage shifts, three unrestricted home call responsibilities, and a guaranteed post‑call day off following primary call. To be successful in this role, you will be a Board Certified or Board Eligible Anesthesiologist who is passionate about delivering outstanding patient care in a collaborative academic environment. You will enjoy practicing a broad scope of anesthesiology while embracing opportunities to teach, mentor, and inspire the next generation of physicians. Through an academic appointment with Creighton University School of Medicine, you will have the opportunity to educate residents, medical students, and future SRNAs, participate in curriculum development, quality improvement, and mentorship initiatives, and help build one of the nation’s newest anesthesiology residency programs.
