Ideal Candidate:
We seek a fellowship-trained pediatric orthopaedic surgeon with a generalist skill set and the enthusiasm to build a presence in a high-growth region. Subspecialty interests in hip, foot & ankle, neuromuscular, or sports medicine (non-spine) are welcome, but the ability and desire to manage a broad spectrum of pediatric orthopaedic conditions is most important.
