Military / VA Orthopedic Surgery: General Job in Tifton, Georgia
This general orthopedic surgery position in Tifton, Georgia is offered, among other arrangements, as a Military/VA role — federal employment supporting active-duty service members, veterans, and their families. As with other federal positions, compensation follows federal pay schedules with federal benefits, and malpractice coverage is provided under federal protection, allowing you to focus on clinical care rather than the administrative and billing responsibilities of private practice.
The listed financial offering for this role falls in the $500,000–$549,999 tier. Emergency department call follows a 1:1 rotation. This is a permanent opening in a community sized 25,000–49,999, suited to physicians who are board certified, hold an MD or DO from a U.S. allopathic or osteopathic program, and are U.S. citizens; both recently trained and experienced candidates are considered.
This same position is also offered under several other structures, including single-specialty group, multi-specialty group, hospital/clinic employment, academic, community health center/FQHC, contract, and part-time arrangements — so if the Military/VA structure isn't the right fit, related options may be available.

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. It's a modern, state-of-the-art facility. 2) There will be 2 other ortho MDs in our group taking call as well as a local independent ortho MD. So, call will be one weekend/month per MD. CRMC is not a level one trauma center, so the bad stuff gets shipped out. Our docs report that the call here is very manageable and not difficult. 3) Not a hospital based employed position. Employed by Clinic, GA. $500K guaranteed base salary plus wRVU bonuses above that. A fairly busy doc with us should make $700K or more. If they're really busy, can make over $1 million. 4) There are 5 OR suites. All ortho equipment is state-of-the-art and bought new within the last 3 years. 5) ER volume is around 30K annually. Based on what our docs have said, the ortho call is really a piece of cake. 6) Yes, a hospitalist program is in place as is inpatient and outpatient PT. Our offices are literally 100 yds from the hospital, so getting over to round or check on something is not an issue. We have EMR with dictations, digital X-ray in the office & on-site DME.
