SSM Health and Saint Louis University are recruiting a fellowship-trained hand surgeon into the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery in St Louis.

This is an academic department post, which in practice means the week is split between clinic, operating and the teaching that comes with a university programme. Residents rotate through the service. Anyone weighing this against a private group should read it as a different trade: a lower ceiling on collections, and a job that includes people to train and time that is protected for it.

St Louis is a large metropolitan referral base in eastern Missouri, and an academic hand service in a city that size sees the full range rather than a narrow slice of elective work.

The department publishes the detail — appointment level, call, compensation structure and start date — on its own posting. Follow the link to read it and to apply directly.
