Job Description

Job Specifics

Autonomous Practice Design: Whether you’re interested in a balanced mix of adult and general pediatric ENT or focusing on a specific subspecialty within the full spectrum of Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery, we will tailor your practice to your strengths and passions.

Practice Breadth: This is a rare opportunity to engage in the full spectrum of ENT—from bread-and-butter to advanced cases—without rigid constraints.

Flexible Pediatric Opportunities: While exclusive pediatric ENT is managed through Children’s Hospital of Illinois (CHOI), our strong partnership with CHOI allows for meaningful pediatric exposure as part of a mixed practice.

Mentorship & Collegiality: Work alongside senior faculty offering mentorship in all major ENT subspecialties, including otology, rhinology, laryngology, and general ENT.

Surgical Center Investment: Optional investment opportunity in a state-of-the-art ambulatory surgery center.

Institutional Support: Our system is deeply committed to comprehensive patient care, as demonstrated by resources like the Cancer Institute and CHOI—even if your role doesn’t directly involve them.

Academic Environment: Participate in resident and medical student education, with opportunities for research and academic advancement if desired.
