BUILD YOUR PRACTICE. HELP SHAPE THE PROGRAM.
Shriners Children's St. Louis is recruiting three full-time surgeons to support the continued growth and evolution of its pediatric orthopedic program:
General Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon
Pediatric Spine Surgeon
Pediatric Upper Extremity/Hand Surgeon
These opportunities offer predominantly subspecialty-focused practices, thoughtfully structured schedules, and the support of an experienced multidisciplinary team.
Shriners Children's provides specialty care to children up to age 18, regardless of their families' ability to pay or insurance status. Its culture is grounded in compassion, integrity, accountability, innovation, evidence-based practice, education, and research.
THE PRACTICE
Approximately 80-90% of each surgeon's clinical time will be dedicated to their primary area of expertise, with the remaining 10-20% focused on general pediatric orthopedics based on subspecialty and patient demand.
A typical week includes:
Two dedicated operating room block days
Two full clinic days
One flex day for administration, program development, research, or other nonclinical activities
Operating room block time is allocated according to subspecialty needs and patient volume.
Surgeons work within a collaborative care model supported by Physical and Occupational Therapy, Pediatric Orthotics and Prosthetics Services, and 3.0 FTE Advanced Practice Providers.
