Three board-certified orthopedic surgeons need to replace a colleague who relocated. The practice has offices in Battle Creek and Marshall, MI (15 miles east of Battle Creek) and performs surgeries at the hospitals in these cities and at outpatient surgery centers in the area. The practice is largely general orthopedics; a fellowship in spine is desirable to capture available market potential. A fellowship in foot and ankle, and possibly hand, will be a 'plus.' Fellowship-trained surgeons can expect about 50% of their volume in their sub-specialty.
