Pediatric Cardiac Anesthesiologists – Portland, Maine

Spectrum Healthcare Partners is seeking full-time BC/BE pediatric cardiac anesthesiologists to join our dynamic team of over 50 physicians at Maine Medical Center—a 700-bed, Level 1 Trauma Center and flagship hospital for the State of Maine, home to Maine’s premier pediatric referral hospital, the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital, and a leading teaching hospital for Tufts University School of Medicine.

About This Role

This is a unique opportunity to practice high-acuity, academic medicine in a physician-owned and physician-led private practice.

Case Mix: Position includes care of pediatric cardiac surgical, cath, and EP lab patients as well as general non-cardiac pediatric surgical and NORA cases. Our pediatric anesthesia group provides expert anesthesiology care including complex neurosurgical repairs, neonatal surgery, airway reconstructions, cath lab procedures, and “bread and butter” pediatric services.

Academic Engagement, Private Practice Foundation: Contribute meaningfully to resident and fellow education, participate in clinical research, and pursue academic advancement - all within a physician-owned practice that still values autonomy, innovation, and physician leadership.

Exceptional Compensation: Full-time, call-taking anesthesiologists average $600k annually for 1900 hours of work per year, with additional earnings through time-based incentive pay.

Generous Time Off: 8 weeks of vacation plus additional comp days.

Manageable Call: Call averages less than 1 weekday per week and <1 weekend per month, with a strong team approach to coverage.

Robust Benefits Package: Includes health (80% employer-paid), dental, vision, 401(k) with match, and generous profit sharing.

Candidate Requirements: ABA board certification, and Pediatric Anesthesiology Boards required within 4 years of employment. Ideal candidate with at least 5 years of pediatric cardiac anesthesia experience, including neonatal cardiac surgery, and leadership interest for a growing program.
