 About this role

As a network recovery surgeon, you will join a growing group of practicing cardiothoracic surgeons across the country who use their training and skill to provide local/regional on-demand heart and lung recovery services for organ procurement organizations and transplant programs nationwide. Your schedule and availability are entirely self-determined and should not conflict with your clinical practice. There is no pressure to accept any case, and there is no minimum service obligation. Come join our team to increase organ utilization, improve transplant outcomes, and maintain your organ recovery skills while being financially rewarded on your own schedule. Compensation is highly competitive and significantly higher than national cardiothoracic locum rates.
