Imagine walking into a practice where you are the thoracic surgery program. At Bozeman Health, you will step into a role with rare professional significance: the only full-time thoracic surgeon serving an eleven-county region across Southwest Montana. This is not a position where you fill a slot on an existing roster. You will build, shape, and lead a thoracic service line from the ground up, supported by a fully integrated health system with the infrastructure, resources, and institutional commitment to help you succeed.
Your practice will serve a vast geographic area where patients currently travel hours for thoracic surgical care. The community need is substantial and immediate. Referring physicians across the region, from primary care providers to pulmonologists and oncologists, are waiting for a dedicated thoracic surgeon to anchor this service line locally. You will provide care that keeps patients closer to home, closer to their families, and connected to the community-based support systems that improve outcomes and quality of life.
This role offers something difficult to find in thoracic surgery today: the chance to practice your full specialty scope while building something lasting. You will have the autonomy to shape clinical protocols, develop referral relationships, and establish the standard of thoracic care for an entire region. Bozeman Health provides the platform and support; you provide the vision and expertise.
