Description
A Unique Partnership Opportunity
This is a unique opportunity to join a well-established private surgery group with over 40 years in practice. Comprised of 11 surgeons and continuing to grow, the group is seeking its next partner to join a collegial, high-volume practice with flexibility to choose the practice model that best fits your career goals and lifestyle.
Practice Models:
Choose from three distinct practice models:
Option 1: Elective-Focused, No Call
Practice entirely between two community hospitals, Monday through Friday, with no night or weekend call. This model is approximately 70% endoscopy and 30% general surgery, with an all-elective volume and minimal ER involvement — typically no more than five consults per week.
Option 2: Elective-Focused with Weekend Call
Identical to Option 1, with the addition of 1-in-5 weekend call (Friday night through Monday morning), compensated with additional pay.
Option 3: Surgicalist/Elective Model
Practice as a Surgicalist as well as performing elective surgeries on a 10-week rotation — 3 weeks as Surgicalist and 7 weeks in-office/elective. Call runs just a little better than 1-in-3 nights, with 1-in-5 weekends. One surgeon covers weekdays, with two covering weekends. There is no trauma at any facility, and each site is supported by a Hospitalist service. Endoscopy responsibilities remain part of this model.
Compensation & Benefits:
Salary guarantee with productivity bonus
Robust benefits package
$100,000 loan repayment, disbursed over three years (1/3 at start, 1/3 at the beginning of year two, 1/3 at the beginning of year three)
Moving expense assistance
Sign-on bonus
Life in the Area:
All the Perks of a Major Metro
Downtown St. Louis is just 20–25 minutes away — Cardinals baseball, Blues hockey, City SC soccer, the Gateway Arch, the Zoo, the Botanical Garden, and a food and nightlife scene that punches well above its weight. Hop the Shiloh-Scott MetroLink and skip the parking entirely on game days, concerts, or museum runs.
Small-Town Charm, Close to Everything
These communities trade gridlock for tree-lined streets , and a downtown where the restaurants are local and the shop owners know your name. Housing runs the gamut from starter homes to sprawling country estates, the schools are svery trong, and the outdoors — hunting, fishing, boating — is right out your back door. Real community, real space, real proximity to a major city when you want it.
