About the Role

This advanced Gastroenterologist position is designed for a specialist focused on ERCP and EUS to launch and expand our Endoscopic Ultrasound services while growing our ERCP coverage.

Working alongside a strong existing general GI team, you will provide advanced procedural services in hospital, ASC, and OR settings, utilizing state-of-the-art endoscopy suites.
