Hospital / Clinic Employed Orthopedic Surgery: General Job in Jackson, Kentucky
This general orthopedic surgery position in Jackson, Kentucky is offered as a hospital/clinic-employed arrangement. In this structure, the hospital, clinic, or management services organization serves as both the recruiting and paying entity, and you would work as a W-2 employee under a straight employment or contract-based arrangement. The employer administers compensation, benefits, malpractice coverage, and scheduling, and typically supplies the clinical facility, staff, and referral infrastructure — allowing you to focus on clinical work rather than practice administration.

- Patient/internal call rotation: no call
- Emergency department call rotation: 1:6 or better
The role is open to candidates who are board certified or board eligible, trained through allopathic (MD) or osteopathic (DO) pathways, and either American medical graduates or foreign medical graduates.

The position serves communities ranging from under 10,000 up to nearly 50,000 residents.
