Opportunity for a Fellowship-Trained Orthopedic Sports Medicine Surgeon

Opening in Fresno, California

We are seeking a fellowship-trained orthopedic shoulder/elbow surgeon to join our collegial, well-established team. Our group includes 3 Total Joint surgeons, 2 Sports surgeons (this position is to replace 1 of the sports surgeons), 2 Hand surgeons, 1 Trauma surgeon, and 2 Non-Operative Sports Medicine specialists.

Role Highlights:

• Surgical Practice Scope: Bread and butter high-volume Sports Medicine practice.  Ability to perform Shoulder Arthroplasty comfortably is highly desired.  Hip Arthroscopy is optional.
• Schedule: Operating room time is 1-2 days per week, 1:8 general call for a tertiary-level center (mostly hip fractures). We practice a shared-call system meaning the non-emergent operative cases that present after hours roll over to your partner the next day, so late-night surgery when on call is rare.  We are not a pediatric center so no urgent peds trauma (i.e. supracondylars).    
• Surgical Infrastructure: We are a high-functioning and collaborative group.  We have 6 PAs who support our practice.  Because of our geographic isolation from the rest of TPMG, we take comprehensive care of our local patient population and rarely refer out.
