These opportunities offer focused pediatric anesthesia practices, an all-physician care model, thoughtfully structured schedules, and the support of an experienced multidisciplinary team. Physicians will provide anesthesia care for children undergoing a broad range of procedures, including general orthopedics, spine, upper and lower extremity, sports medicine, and select plastic surgeries.
Shriners Children's provides specialty care to children up to age 18, regardless of their families' ability to pay or insurance status. Its culture is grounded in compassion, integrity, accountability, innovation, evidence-based practice, education, and research.
