As part of a collaborative department of 23 anesthesiologists and 27 CRNAs, you'll provide exceptional perioperative care in a 391-bed Level I Trauma Center serving a complex and diverse patient population. This is an outstanding opportunity for physicians seeking a broad, high-acuity clinical practice while contributing to a growing academic department.

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'll 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'll 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.
