Spine Neurosurgeon - Physician
About the role
We are seeking a neurosurgeon who specializes in cutting edge minimally invasive and/or complex spine surgery. A spine focused neurosurgeon would join a collaborative group of two other neurosurgeons with complex and deformity spine surgery expertise. Available technology for spine procedures includes the Medtronic O arm and stealth navigation, and our surgeons have already developed the infrastructure and work flow for anterior, lateral, and posterior spine approaches. We are seeking a candidate who is motivated to expand our expertise and increase patient access and choice in our region.
Candidates would also join a diverse neurosurgical faculty with existing comprehensive coverage of vascular/endovascular, neuro-oncology, skull base, stereotactic, and functional neurosurgery. General neurosurgery call coverage including cranial and spine trauma is required.
