Contract Orthopedic Surgery: General Job in Tifton, Georgia
This orthopedic surgery opportunity in Tifton, Georgia is offered as a contract arrangement. In this structure, you would be engaged as an independent contractor rather than an employee, typically paid on a 1099 basis under an agreement defining term, schedule, and rate. Contractors generally arrange their own benefits, retirement, and tax withholding, and malpractice terms vary by agreement; in exchange, this type of arrangement can offer scheduling flexibility and often premium compensation rates relative to fewer employer-provided benefits.
This position is also listed under several other practice structures, including part-time, so the contract format described here is one of multiple ways this role can be arranged. The financial offering for this listing is stated in the $500,000–$549,999 range. Emergency department call under this listing follows a 1:1 rotation.
Candidates should be board certified, hold an MD or DO degree as an American Medical Graduate, and be authorized to work in the U.S. as citizens. Both recently trained and experienced physicians are considered, and the position is based in a community with a population between 25,000 and 49,999.

88 bed facility and has won numerous awards over the last few years as one of the best hospitals in the state and the nation. The addition of a third floor and overall renovation was completed in 2008.
