The hospital is a teaching campus for Indiana University School of Medicine, and research opportunities are available. Assistance at surgery will be available at all times, and a back-up system is in place. This is an excellent starting position for a young surgeon interested in growing professionally, under the tutelege of a double-boarded, Fellowship-trained TMD with many publications and years of experience.
