Description
Pediatric General Surgeon | Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at Ascension St. Vincent
Indianapolis, Indiana
Elevate your surgical career at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital (PMCH), the premier destination for advanced pediatric specialty care in Central Indiana. We are seeking a fellowship-trained, board-certified or board-eligible Pediatric General Surgeon to join a collegial, high-volume practice dedicated to clinical excellence, academic mentorship, and community service.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
True Work-Life Integration: Enjoy a balanced call schedule of q3 to q4 home call only—no mandatory in-house overnight call.
Single-Site Efficiency: Practice across an inpatient/outpatient mix centralized at one primary campus, eliminating time lost to cross-town travel.
Robust Operative & Clinical Support:
24/7 Advanced Practice Provider (APP) trauma coverage
Seasoned surgical first assistants for after-hours emergency cases
Dedicated weekday RN clinical staff and integrated EMR systems (Athena & Sunrise)
High-Acuity Surgical Breadth: Maintain comprehensive operative skill across complex neonatal cases, thoracic procedures, ECMO management, and pediatric trauma.
Academic & Mentorship Role: Actively teach, mentor, and supervise general surgery residents, medical students, and fellows in a supportive learning environment.
