This opportunity is ideal for a neurosurgeon with a subspecialty interest in spine, peripheral nerve, or functional neurosurgery to build and expand a high-impact practice within a leading neuroscience program in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Subspecialty Growth Opportunity – Develop and grow a focused practice aligned with your expertise and interests

• Participation in both outpatient and inpatient care, supported by established hospital services

Professional Growth

• Leadership and program development potential
• Access to a large multispecialty network for collaboration and case development

• Malpractice Insurance: Full coverage including tail
• Continuing Medical Education: $6,000 annual CME allowance
