Physician - Orthopedic - Total Joint

About the Organization

CHRISTUS St. Vincent is a community-based, private, not-for-profit health system and a Level III Trauma Center. Serving more than 300,000 residents across 19,000+ square miles in seven counties of New Mexico, we are the region's only full-service healthcare provider. Committed to delivering exceptional, personalized care, we offer a broad spectrum of services through our hospital and a network of outpatient clinics with nearly 40 specialty care programs.

About the Team

Our board-certified orthopedic surgeons and advanced practice clinicians specialize in a broad range of areas, including joint replacement, arthroscopic surgery, sports medicine, trauma/fractures, osteoporosis care, and general orthopedic treatment. We provide expert care for conditions affecting the arm, elbow, ankle, hand, wrist, hip, knee, and shoulder, as well as comprehensive diabetic wound care.

As a dynamic and collegial team, we are committed to delivering the highest standard of care through evidence-based practices, patient-centered solutions, and a collaborative approach to treatment. Efficiency is a priority, but we never compromise on quality. Our patients benefit from timely, effective interventions. Our orthopedic practice is proud to be an ACCREDITED CENTER OF EXCELLENCE FOR JOINT HEALTH, ensuring that every patient receives exceptional care, with a focus on compassion, individual attention, and high-performance healthcare.

About the Role

We are looking for a dedicated orthopedic surgeon to join our expanding team and help provide exceptional care to our patients. While we prefer a full-time physician, this role offers the flexibility of less-than-full-time employment, as mutually agreed upon with the employer. The physician in this role will have the opportunity to perform surgical procedures specializing in joint reconstruction (ROSA robots available), design and implement individualized treatment plans, encompassing preoperative and postoperative care, rehabilitation, and patient education.

You will collaborate with a multidisciplinary healthcare team to deliver holistic and personalized care, maintaining accurate medical records and utilizing EPIC EMR in all practice settings. The role includes participation in monthly total joint committee meetings and light practice call (phone-based) with no hospital visits required, involving 1-week block rotations shared among 18 providers. You will work with a 1-to-1 physician-to-advanced practitioner ratio and provide care at the main orthopedic clinic and the main hospital campus, located approximately 2.6 miles apart. Occasionally, you will mentor family medicine residents during their rotations, coordinated by the orthopedic clinic manager. You will receive referrals from a wide range of sources, including internal organization providers, local emergency departments, urgent care centers, and community partners from across Northern New Mexico.
