What you will accomplish with us ##

You will take responsibility for our female and male patients in hand surgery and orthopedics - from the first meeting until the end of treatment.

• You will autonomously lead an outpatient consultation in hand surgery 3 days per week (60%)
• If you wish, it is possible to lead an orthopedic consultation 2 additional days per week
• You treat our female and male patients in a conservative and holistic manner
• Depending on your qualification and interest, a combined conservative and operative activity in hand surgery is also possible
• You contribute with us to the continuous development of hand surgery by bringing your own ideas and strengths.

What is important to us ##

We are not looking for a perfect career path. We are looking for a personality who works with care, assumes responsibility and integrates humanly into our team.

For an operative activity, you possess a specialist title in hand surgery and/or orthopedic and traumatological surgery of the locomotor system.

For a purely conservative activity, you have long experience in consultation in the field of the locomotor system. A specialist title is not required for this.

You approach patients and collaborators with empathy, respect and consideration. You are loyal and oriented towards teamwork, and maintain an overview even in demanding situations.

You are open, cooperative and flexible - and you like to transmit your knowledge, develop the team and create new ways together.

A good medicine is born where professional competence and humanity meet.

What we offer you ##

With us, you will not find a position where you only occupy a function.

You will be part of a small hand surgery team, collegial and committed, which collaborates closely with different specialties such as orthopedics, rheumatology, neurology, etc.

You will benefit from:

• a wide range of elective and traumatological hand surgery
• a varied activity with personal leeway
• close interdisciplinary collaboration with the other clinics
• regular internal training
• support and possibilities for external training
• No on-call duties
• modern employment conditions and excellent social benefits
• a central workplace, in the immediate vicinity of the Baar station and access to the highway

Perhaps we are looking specifically for you.

If you experience hand surgery with competence, curiosity and humanity and want to move things forward together, we look forward to meeting you.
