A cardiac anesthesiologist with fellowship training is sought to join a 20-physician, 40-APP anesthesiology care team at a 523-bed flagship hospital in Gainesville, Florida — 3.5 miles from the University of Florida campus. The cardiac service runs 50–75 cases per month across a broad surgical mix that includes cardiovascular, vascular, interventional radiology, and neurointerventional radiology, all within a structured call rotation that builds in dedicated post-call recovery time.

About the Community
Gainesville sits at the intersection of a vibrant university town and genuine Florida nature — surrounded by seven state parks, more than 30 miles of biking and hiking trails, and iconic freshwater springs including Ichetucknee Springs State Park. The cost of living is reasonable relative to Florida's coastal markets, real estate values are strong, and the city offers highly rated public, private, and charter schools alongside the University of Florida and several other post-secondary institutions. Access to major airports, proximity to the Atlantic Coast, and a year-round calendar of farmers markets, local breweries, farm-to-fork dining, and outdoor recreation — kayaking, boating, horseback riding, zip-lining, and golf — make Gainesville a compelling destination for physicians who want an active lifestyle without the price tag of a major metro.
