Job description
Anesthesiologist – Work 13 or 26 Weeks Annually
Northern Maine | Permanent Position | H-1B Candidates Considered
What could you do with 26—or even 39—weeks away from scheduled clinical service each year?
HealthYes Staffing Network is recruiting an Anesthesiologist for a hospital-employed position in Northern Maine offering two distinctive block-scheduling options. The opportunity is designed for a physician who values concentrated work periods, meaningful time away from the hospital, and a practice that primarily involves clinical leadership and CRNA supervision.
Choose the Schedule That Fits Your Life
Physicians may be considered for either of the following rotations:
Two weeks on and two weeks off: approximately 26 working weeks annually with 1:2 call
One week on and three weeks off: approximately 13 working weeks annually with 1:3 call
The hospital will review the daily schedule, call responsibilities, coverage expectations, and transition between rotations during the interview process.
The Anesthesia Practice
The department currently includes two Anesthesiologists and five CRNAs. The hospital has five operating rooms, with four generally in use, and completes approximately 2,500 cases annually.
The practice is approximately:
90% CRNA supervision and medical direction
10% personally performed anesthesia care
This structure allows the incoming physician to remain clinically involved while serving as a resource and leader for an experienced anesthesia team.
Types of Cases
The surgical program includes a balanced range of cases:
General Surgery
Urology
Ophthalmology
ENT
Orthopedics
Obstetrics and Gynecology
Limited Thoracic Surgery
Additional hospital-based procedures
Orthopedic cases represent approximately 30% of annual volume, while General Surgery, Urology, Ophthalmology, and ENT collectively account for approximately 50%.
What You’ll Do
The Anesthesiologist will evaluate patients before surgery, determine the appropriate anesthesia plan, provide or direct anesthesia services, manage perioperative risk, and support safe recovery following procedures.
Additional responsibilities include:
Supervising and medically directing CRNAs
Providing general, regional, and monitored anesthesia care
Managing difficult airways and anesthesia-related emergencies
Participating in the applicable call rotation
Collaborating with surgeons, nurses, and other hospital departments
Supporting departmental quality and patient-safety initiatives
Maintaining complete and timely clinical documentation
Candidate Profile
The hospital is seeking an MD or DO who has completed an accredited Anesthesiology residency and is board-certified or board-eligible in Anesthesiology.
Candidates must be eligible for an unrestricted Maine medical license and hospital privileges. The organization welcomes physicians who completed appropriate training through U.S. allopathic, osteopathic, military, or international medical pathways.
H-1B candidates may be considered.
Compensation and Support
The selected physician will receive a competitive hospital-employed compensation package accompanied by:
Comprehensive medical benefits, with the hospital covering the majority of health-insurance premiums
Employer-paid malpractice coverage
Relocation assistance
Educational loan-repayment support when applicable
Annual allowance for licenses, professional dues, and subscriptions
CME reimbursement of up to $2,500 per year
Final compensation, call pay, benefit eligibility, and contractual terms will be reviewed directly with qualified candidates.
A Different Pace of Life
Northern Maine offers affordable housing, minimal traffic, outdoor recreation, and the kind of community where physicians remain visible and valued. This opportunity may be especially attractive to someone who wants substantial scheduled time away from work without stepping away from a meaningful hospital‑based practice.
