About The Position

Full-time Anesthesiologist position at New England Baptist Hospital (NEBH) in Boston, a nationally recognized orthopedic subspecialty hospital. The hospital has 16 operating rooms and provides services including total joint replacement, joint preservation, sports medicine, foot and ankle care, physical and occupational therapy, non-orthopedic medical specialties, pain management, complex spine deformity and revision surgery, and hand and upper-extremity care.

The Department of Anesthesia has a case mix of MD-only practice and CRNA supervision. The work involves predominantly neuraxial and regional anesthesia for joint surgery, and general anesthesia for spine surgery. Call is usually one weekday per week and three weekends per quarter (11–12 calls annually). Weekday call requires the physician to remain in-house until OR cases are complete and patients are stable for discharge from PACU, usually between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m., with after-hours backup call for urgent or emergent add-on cases. Weekend call, from Friday through Monday morning, is beeper call from home for urgent or emergent add-on cases and airway emergencies that the in-house medical team cannot manage.

The position is with Longwood Specialty Physicians (LSP), a network associated with Harvard Medical Faculty Physicians and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. The organizations offer access to research, advanced education, and a network of more than 680 providers, and support professional development and balance between work and home.
