Bariatric Surgery

Emerald Resource Group•White Plains, NY

6d•Onsite

About The Position

This role focuses on delivering durable weight-loss and comorbidity outcomes through careful patient selection, precise surgery, and a comprehensive post-discharge program. Success is measured by safer operations, reduced readmissions, and patients who adhere to the established treatment plan. The position involves building and managing a high-volume bariatric practice, performing primary and revisional procedures, and leading a multidisciplinary team to ensure optimal patient outcomes.

Requirements

Board certification or eligibility in general surgery, with fellowship training in bariatric or minimally invasive surgery.
Independent experience in sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, and revisional cases, including management of leaks, strictures, and nutritional failure.
A documented record of low complication and readmission rates, or a clear plan to reach benchmark within a defined case volume.
Comfort leading multidisciplinary selection conferences and saying no when surgery is the wrong next step.
Active medical license and ability to obtain hospital privileges and accreditation-program credentials without delay.

Responsibilities

Build and run a high-volume bariatric practice that meets or exceeds program volume, case-mix, and accreditation standards within the first year.
Select candidates using evidence-based criteria so operative risk, expected benefit, and patient readiness are clear before the first incision.
Perform primary and revisional bariatric procedures with complication, leak, and 30-day readmission rates at or below national benchmarks.
Cut length of stay and preventable returns by standardizing enhanced-recovery pathways with anesthesia, nursing, and nutrition.
Own longitudinal outcomes: track excess-weight loss, diabetes remission, and follow-up completion at 30 days, 6 months, and 1 year, and close gaps found.
Lead multidisciplinary case review so dietitians, behavioral health, and medicine align on one plan before and after surgery.
Teach residents, advanced practice providers, or OR teams so technique, documentation, and safety habits hold when you are not in the room.
