Full description
Plastic Surgery Opening in Oakland, California with Kaiser Permanente Leading the future of health care Kaiser Permanente / The Permanente Medical Group Oakland/Richmond, California We are seeking a Plastic Surgeon to join our 6 physician and 1 PA-C practice. We perform a high volume of breast reduction, breast reconstruction, and transgender top surgery, as well as a significant volume of general and complex reconstructive surgery referred by our surgical colleagues. Mostly breast, ortho trauma (no hand), chest wall recon, sarcoma, and various general reconstructive problems. We also have a developing cosmetic practice (mostly breast and body). We have multiple fellowship trained microsurgeons, and a candidate must feel comfortable rounding/taking call/evaluating free flaps but would not be expected to perform microsurgery (unless fellowship trained). The candidate should be BC or BE and will need a CA medical license. Call will be evenly split among 6 plastic surgeons. Training and comfort level would dictate patient mix for a new hire but would likely be a similar patient mix to what our existing surgeons see. Our East Bay practice covers both the Kaiser Permanente Oakland and Richmond campuses, and we operate and have clinic at both. Candidates typically either operate with each other or our skilled plastic surgery PA. This is a group practice, and collegiality and flexibility are key. We feel the chief benefits of our practice are a pretty wide scope of practice for everyone, freedom from billing or patient recruitment concerns, and particularly the benefits of a close-knit collegial group- we really rely on each other, and any new surgeon has to value that group practice aspect as an important part of their career path. This position will be valued by someone who wishes to develop and practicing a varied set of plastic surgery skills and who wants a friendly supportive group practice rather than a competitive situation. If micro trained, we perform mostly breast free flaps, but also some extremity trauma and all over the body (not head and neck) oncologic extirpation recon. The Permanente Medical Group, Inc. is one of the largest medical groups in the nation with over 10,000 physicians, 21 medical centers, numerous clinics throughout Northern and Central California and an 80-year tradition of providing quality medical care. Requirements Board Certification or Eligibility Must be eligible to obtain a CA medical license or be currently licensed to practice within CA With TPMG you'll benefit from AI-Based charting and an outstanding electronic medical record system that allows flexibility in patient management. Work-life balance focused practice, including flexible schedules and unmatched practice support. We can focus on providing excellent patient care without managing overhead and billing. No RVUs! We are Physician-led and develop our own leaders. EXTRAORDINARY BENEFITS Competitive compensation and benefits package, including comprehensive medical, dental, and vision Northern California Home Loan Program - up to $250,000 available for down payment, interest free for 10 years, AND NO PAYMENTS until end of 10-year period Moving Allowance paid directly by TPMG - up to $10,000 Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Eligible Employer Malpractice and Tail Insurance Paid holidays, sick leave, and education leave, including paid time off for Board Certification exam Annual education stipend, along with reimbursed board examination fees and new CA Medical License fees Shareholder track Life Insurance and Optional Long-Term Care Insurance Three retirement plans, including a pension plan and 401(k) For more information regarding practicing with TPMG and to apply, please visit: https://northerncalifornia.permanente.org/ We are an equal opportunity employer | VEVRAA Federal Contractor
