Senior Consultant Spine Surgery 100%

About the job

• You will care for your own patients in your consultations and perform surgical procedures adapted to your level of training under supervision.
• You will cover the spine surgery service at KSA and perform interventional pain therapy in the spinal area as well as adjacent joints, starting under supervision depending on your training level, then increasingly independently.
• You will independently carry out specialist tasks with conservative and operative treatments and participate in the training of assistant doctors.
• Your scientific contributions at national and international congresses will be welcomed after familiarisation.
• You will learn the entire spectrum of spine surgery, except for intradural tumour surgery; the latter can be planned through rotations in other clinics.

• After completing training as a specialist in neurosurgery or orthopaedics and trauma surgery of the musculoskeletal system (mandatory with MEBEKO recognition), ideally with an additional title in Special Spine Surgery and SSIPM certificate, you are interested in comprehensive spine surgery training and work.
• You are a dynamic, resilient personality with the ambition to learn a complex field of orthopaedics/neurosurgery, demonstrate above-average performance, and aim for the specialist title in spine surgery planned by the professional societies.
• You welcome interdisciplinary collaboration and actively help shape it.
