Cranial Preeminent Mid-Atlantic Practice

A Mid-Atlantic health network is seeking a BC/BE Neurosurgeon to join a collegial, well-established, hospital employed group of seven neurosurgeons and one interventional neuroradiologist. This is a preeminent neurosurgery practice with a strong referral base and solid track record of developing multidisciplinary neuroscience programs with administrative support.
