What are the responsibilities and job description for the Build Something in Vegas: Pediatric Surgeon, Private Practice, Partnership Track position at Pediatric Surgery Associates?
Pediatric Surgery Associates is expanding and we're looking for a pediatric surgeon to help shape what comes next.
We’re an independent, physician-owned practice at a genuine inflection point: expanding our footprint across two hospital systems and building the kind of programs that don't yet exist anywhere else in the region.
We're not a hospital-employed group. We’re not owned by private equity.
If you want to help build something: a service line, a referral network, eventually a children's hospital in a city that truly needs you, this is that opportunity.
What You'll Do
- Practice the full spectrum of pediatric surgery — neonatal, minimally invasive, foregut and colorectal, oncology, ECMO, and general pediatric procedures
- Provide pediatric trauma coverage at Sunrise Children's Hospital, an ACS Level 1 Adult Trauma Center and Level II Pediatric Trauma Center
- Operate across two major hospital systems (Sunrise Children’s Hospital and Summerlin Hospital) with meaningful case volume and real clinical autonomy
- Share equally in a balanced three (possibly four) surgeon call schedule, built for sustainability, not survival
What You'll Help Build
- A rapidly growing pediatric market with room to shape and develop programs
- Direct influence over surgical culture, hospital partnerships, and subspecialty program development
- A voice in trauma systems, neonatal care, and leadership initiatives across our affiliated institutions
- A stake in long-term regional impact
What We Offer
- Competitive compensation with a genuine, defined path to partnership
- Nevada's no state income tax, which meaningfully boosts take-home pay
- A collegial, established group with high clinical standards and a culture of ownership
- Life in Las Vegas: a major metro with international airport access, Red Rock Canyon at your doorstep, incredible fan base for professional sporting teams, unmatched nightlife and music scene and easy travel to Utah, Arizona, and California
Who We're Looking For
A board-certified or board-eligible pediatric surgeon who is technically excellent, comfortable with autonomy, and wants to be a builder.
