Trainee Functional Neurosurgery Jobs (NOW HIRING)

The Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine is integral to the healthcare, education and research missions at OHSU. We provide clinical services at OHSU hospitals and collaborate with the VA Portland Health Care System and Hillsboro Medical Center. We specialize in providing excellent perioperative care and anesthesia services to our patients using state-of-the-art technology and pharmacologic tools with an emphasis on patient safety. Pre-operative assessment is facilitated by electronic data collecting systems and is integral to minimizing patient risk. In the operating rooms our anesthesiologists work in care teams with our fellows, residents, and nurse anesthetists as well as independently. Pre- and post-operative care is under the medical supervision of our department. We play a prominent role in the caring for patients in the cardiovascular, neurosciences, and virtual intensive care units. In the ICU our team includes anesthesiology intensivists, critical care fellows, physician assistants/nurse practitioners, and residents. The role of our team in the ICUs is comprehensive and critical to achieving the highest quality outcomes for our patients.

Come and join our Neurocritical Care and Neuroanesthesia teams providing tertiary care to neurologically injured patients at OHSU (a 550-bed Magnet hospital and Comprehensive Stroke Center with Level-1 Trauma designation, and the only academic hospital in Oregon). OHSU has a busy neurosurgical service, including functional and epilepsy surgery, as well as a cerebrovascular and skull base program and an intraoperative MRI suite. The Neurosciences Intensive Care Unit (NSICU) is a state-of-the-art 17-bed ICU that admits all neurologically injured patients in need of critical care, including patients with ischemic or hemorrhagic strokes, status epilepticus, neuromuscular disorders, and those undergoing neurosurgical and neurointerventional procedures. This creates a practice environment with an excellent mix of surgical and non-surgical ICU patients. Our Neurocritical Care certified NSICU faculty include anesthesiologists, neurologists, and neurosurgeons. We are looking for an energetic physician who has completed training in Anesthesiology and Neurocritical Care and wants to join our dynamic team.
