Virtual / Telemedicine Surgery: Cardiothoracic Job in San Francisco, California
This cardiothoracic surgery position is offered as a virtual arrangement, meaning the work is carried out primarily or entirely through telemedicine rather than in a fixed facility setting. As is typical for this structure, you would see patients remotely under the applicable state licensing requirements, with scheduling flexibility that differs from a traditional site-based practice and without a daily commute to a single location.
This same listing is also structured as a contract engagement and is separately offered as a non-clinical case management role, so the virtual option described here is one of several ways this opportunity can be arranged. The compensation approach follows the contract financial structure, with the financial offering listed as Open. There is no patient call and no emergency department call associated with this role.
- Board certification is required.
