This individual will promote accountability, collaboration, quality, service, and continuous improvement while strengthening anesthesia coverage, OR and procedural throughput, recruitment and retention, perioperative optimization, and access to both local expertise and Dartmouth Health’s advanced specialty resources.

Qualified candidates will possess an M.D. or D.O. degree from an accredited medical school, completion of an ACGME-accredited Anesthesiology residency and board certification.
