Board certification in Anesthesiology is required for all clinicians in this role. This opportunity offers a diverse case mix, including general surgery, robotic bariatric surgery, thoracic, GYN, urology, ENT, orthopedics, spine, podiatry, cataracts, GI, pulmonary procedures (bronchoscopies/EBUS), OB (C-sections and epidurals), and healthy pediatric dental and ENT cases for children over 6 months old.
