Outside of the operating room, full-time surgeons hold important positions of leadership with focus on professional education, operations and logistics, informatics, transplant policy, and the many other components of ProCure’s mission. Compensation is comprised of a base salary with additional fees for each case completed, and overall case volume targets are set to maintain exceptional total compensation while allowing a healthy balance of operative and non-operative pursuits.
