Southern California Permanente Medical Group • San Diego, CA

8h • Onsite

About The Position

The Department of Anesthesia, Perioperative and Pain Medicine at Kaiser Permanente San Diego is a diverse group of 70+ Physicians and 50+ Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists that practice in the team model. Our group hails from the most competitive training programs from coast to coast. We have multiple physicians from each ACGME accredited Anesthesia Fellowship Program: Cardiothoracic (5), Critical Care (3), Obstetric (3), Pain (10), and Pediatric (9), along with team members who have completed Regional Anesthesia (8), Neuroanesthesia (1) and Thoracic Anesthesia (1) Fellowships. All of our partner physicians are Diplomates of the American Board of Anesthesiology.
In San Diego a per diem physician can expect to be assigned to primarily inpatient cases at one of our 3 hospitals, and less often to one of our 3 outpatient centers. Per diems do not do obstetric anesthesia. Our main campus is the San Diego Medical Center at 9455 Clairemont Mesa Boulevard. Inpatient work includes all surgical sub-specialties except for Cardiac, Trauma and Transplant. The Per Diem General Anesthesiologist’s practice in San Diego includes bread and butter Pediatrics, Gynecology, General Surgery, Neurosurgery, Vascular, Thoracic, Orthopedic Surgery and out of the OR cases serving Gastroenterology, Radiology, and Interventional Radiology. Night calls are not expected of per diems. Occasional weekend work is expected and a minimum monthly commitment of mid-week work. Although there are CRNA's in the practice, you will mostly do cases solo and not supervise. There is no resident supervision for per diems.
We have enjoyed great growth recently as our flagship hospital, The San Diego Medical Center (SDMC), was opened in 2017, and another major medical center in San Marcos began operation in August of 2023. There are 6 operating sites: 3 hospitals and 3 outpatient centers. Expect travel between Otay and San Marcos, so living centrally is an advantage.
