Tulane University School of Medicine, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, is seeking a Board Certified/Board Eligible Orthopaedic Surgeon with a strong interest in an academic career to join our practice in New Orleans, La. The ideal candidate would be interested in a general academic pediatric orthopaedic practice with the ability to build a subspecialty practice (non-spine). The practice is made up of 5 dedicated pediatric orthopaedic surgeons from 2 institutions as well as excellent APP and NP support. Teaching opportunities include working with residents from 4 different residency programs and collaborative research within Tulane and our colleague institutions in New Orleans.

Clinical practice responsibilities for this position are primarily based at Children’s Hospital of New Orleans LCMC Health, with some outreach activities. Teaching duties include participation in department-wide activities, with a special emphasis on participation in conferences and activities focused on your sub-specialty.

The Children’s Hospital of New Orleans is a truly special place to practice. The unique culture and history of the city and its surrounding communities have made an incredible comeback while still maintaining a favorable cost of living compared to the other metro areas. Sunshine and mild winters and abundant cultural, recreational, and culinary experiences are some of the many advantages to living and practicing in New Orleans.
