orthopedic surgeon

description

Our client is hiring an experienced all-around Orthopaedic Surgeon. In addition to an already visiting physician with a focus on knees and shoulders, this new role would be adding other and more general scope of work. This includes joint replacements, arthroscopy and fracture repair and surgical or therapeutic treatment and repair of any injuries or illnesses to the musculoskeletal disorder including back/spine, hips and wrists. Full OT materials and fit-out are present in the medical complex. As there is no emergency room or ICU, the traumatology scope of work has no place here.
