Surgeon Job at UK Kings Daughters in Ashland, KY

UK King's Daughters, a 465-bed regional referral center in Ashland, Kentucky, is offering a lucrative opportunity for a well-trained general surgeon. King s Daughters serves an area with a population exceeding 750,000, with patients traveling over 2 hours for care.

Our four-physician group performs approximately 1,600 cases monthly at the Ashland hospital.

Each surgeon has dedicated advanced practitioners who assist with inpatient rounding, clinic duties, and OR support. Call for this position will be 1:5.

The hospital-employed physician will receive compensation through a combination of a guaranteed salary and WRVUs, with easily attainable quarterly incentive pay. Our surgeons are financially well compensated, and a fifth surgeon is definitely warranted. The position also offers excellent benefits, including health, vision, dental, and life insurance, retirement plans, six weeks of vacation, and an additional week for CME.
