Orthopedic Surgeon & Head Team Physician for Utah Mammoth

Job Description:

When you join us, you’ll become a part of a nationally recognized health system dedicated to our mission of “helping people live the healthiest lives possible.”
As an Orthopedic Surgeon part of the Musculoskeletal team at Intermountain Health, you will work with a team of healthcare professionals committed to providing quality care and excellent patient experience.

For the right candidate, this role offers an exceptional blend of professional growth, visibility, and the chance to make a lasting impact both on and off the field.
