Position
Parkview Adventist Medical Center is seeking a well rounded general surgeon. You will be working with another surgeon with 20 years experience. This is a bread and butter practice, and advanced laparoscopic skills will be very helpful and desired. Your office is located in the building adjacent to the hospital. Currently, there are 475 surgeries and 725 endoscopies being done. About a year ago, a second surgeon moved away, so this recruitment is to fill that void and address community access to surgical services. You will have a generous two year guarantee. Assistance with medical education debt is offered. There is a flexible call schedule to accommodate both surgeons. Hospital
Parkview Adventist Medical Center is a 55-bed acute care hospital located in the magnificent coastal town of Brunswick, Maine. This hospital serves more than 45,000 area residents. In addition to its caring, faith-based approach to health, Parkview is known for its state-of-the-art technology, including advanced diagnostic services: digital 3-D ultrasound, PACS archiving system, and a 16-slice CT scanner. Community
Brunswick is a fantastic coastal community perhaps best known as home of Bowdoin College, one of the premier liberal arts schools in the country, with its beautiful sprawling campus. Brunswick is just minutes down the coast from the city of Bath, home of the world famous Bath Iron Works, the respected shipbuilding enterprise that is one of the largest employers in Maine. Brunswick offers a range of shopping and dining opportunities, a major cinema complex and more, while Bath is somewhat quieter historic town, awash with genuine New England charm. Nearby Freeport is a destination city for shoppers, with the flagship L.L. Bean Store that never closes, plus over a hundred name-brand outlet stores. Brunswick is located just 30 minutes north east along the coast from Portland. Map of Brunswick, ME US - Recreation
