JSA provides an alternative to surgeons who are looking to spend
more time in the OR while achieving a better work/life balance. We
actively recruit surgeons who are interested in serving as surgical
assistants.
Surgeons who are interested in surgical assisting experience a
number of benefits:
- Better work/life balance
- Less administrative hassles
- Reduced malpractice insurance burden
- Fewer pre-op and post-op responsibilities
This alternative is particularly attractive to surgeons who are
approaching retirement. Serving as a surgical assistant allows
surgeons to reduce their practice burden while still maintaining a
close connection to the OR. It also provides a continued source of
income, thereby helping surgeons maintain a high standard of
living.
