Anesthesiologist

US Anesthesia Partners•Colorado Springs, CO

About The Position

USAP Colorado Springs is the leading physician-owned and physician-led practice in Southern Colorado. We are growing and looking to hire experienced anesthesiologists and new graduates to be a part of our incredibly successful team. As a physician-led group, we understand the demands placed on physicians and our group has subsequently evolved to prioritize physician work-life balance through uncommon flexibility and individual autonomy. Having some control over workload and being able to tailor individual practices has led to our industry low attrition and stability in this challenging post Covid market. Combined with this growing region, we are dialed in for the foreseeable future. Practice Details: The practice currently has the exclusive contract at 3 CommonSpirit hospitals (Penrose, St Francis, and St Francis Interquest) and 6 outpatient surgery centers. Our case variety includes significant orthopedics, ENT, spine, neurosurgery, L&D, healthy peds, urology, vascular, thoracic, and a dedicated cardiac team. Our team currently consists of about 50 physicians, 25 CAAs, and 5 CRNAs. Our call burden is extremely manageable with a current average of 1.3 in house calls per month and weekend coverage at 1 per 7 weeks. Trauma is also modest with our highest acuity hospital being a level 2. Yes, you read those numbers correctly, this is why our burnout and attrition are low. Our City: Colorado Springs has become a regular on those “Best Places to Live” lists. The purple mountain mentioned in “America the Beautiful” was inspired by the Pike’s Peak view that we enjoy daily. The city offers affordable regional housing, homes with mountain views, top public schools, in town hiking and mountain biking, eclectic breweries and restaurants, the Ford Amphitheater, and outstanding city parks like the iconic Garden of the Gods. Being in the Olympic City, you may find yourself in a yoga class with a gold medal winner, and clinically you’ll quickly notice our active population doesn’t challenge the usual BMI extremes of the western diet. With mountain towns like Breckenridge and Salida 2.5 hours away, it is also a premier Rocky Mountain gateway to all that Colorado stuff - world-class alpine skiing, mountain biking, camping, hiking, white water rafting, and fly fishing. Denver is about 50 minutes north if you want to catch a Broncos game or Red Rocks concert. Lake Pueblo is about 1 hour south if you’re into boating and water skiing in the Summer. And with 300 days of sunshine and mild traffic, compared to most American metros like that one north of us, it means you will actually do those things! Company History: Pikes Peak Anesthesia Associates was the largest anesthesia provider in Southern Colorado. We joined USAP in 2018 and have continued to be the preeminent inpatient and outpatient anesthesia team in the Colorado Springs community. The legacy culture focused on physician flexibility has remained intact as USAP recognized the long-term success and stability of our model. The practice is led by elected, local partner physicians that make up our Clinical Governing Board (CBG). The CGB balances the clinical and business interests of the group and makes decisions regarding care team management, call structure, recruiting, etc. However, anything affecting compensation goes to a group wide vote in the interest of fairness. We provide anesthesia for approximately 60,000 procedures per year and have grown organically due to quality care and long-standing relationships with our surgeons and facilities.
