Contract Orthopedic Surgery: General Job in Houston, Texas
This orthopedic surgery position in Houston, Texas is offered as a contract arrangement, alongside an employed option. As a contract physician, you would work as an independent contractor under a defined agreement covering term, schedule, and rate rather than as an employee. This typically means 1099-based pay, with you handling your own benefits, retirement, and tax withholding; malpractice arrangements vary by agreement. In exchange for fewer employer-provided benefits, contract work often offers greater flexibility and schedule control.
For this listing, the financial offering is listed as Open. There is no patient call rotation and no emergency department call associated with this role.
Candidates may be board certified or board eligible, and both allopathic (MD) and osteopathic (DO) training backgrounds are welcome. Applicants must hold US citizenship or a green card, and physicians across a range of experience levels—from those currently in training to very experienced practitioners—are considered.
