Cape Cod Healthcare Neurosurgery

Cape Cod Healthcare is seeking a board-certified or board-eligible neurosurgeon to join its hospital-employed neurosurgery group. While the majority of the clinical volume is elective spinal surgery, we are seeking a candidate with an interest and capability in managing primary and metastatic central nervous system tumors. This role provides an excellent opportunity to practice the breadth of community neurosurgery, with an emphasis on spine, while also developing and leading tumor care within an integrated health system.

Responsibilities & Practice Focus

• Perform elective spinal surgery (instrumented fusion, motion preservation, minimally invasive approaches, deformity correction) — the majority of expected surgical volume.
• Diagnose, operate, and manage postoperative care for primary and metastatic cranial and spinal tumors in collaboration with oncology and radiation oncology colleagues.
• Participate in general neurosurgical call coverage (cranial, trauma, spine) on a rotating basis.
• Contribute to multidisciplinary tumor board and neuro-oncology program development.
• Provide outpatient consultation, follow-up, and continuity of care for neurosurgical patients.
• Collaborate with advanced practice providers, hospitalists, and ICU staff to deliver comprehensive care.

Qualifications

• MD or DO (or equivalent) with completion of neurosurgery residency.
• Board certified or board eligible in neurosurgery.
• Demonstrated interest or experience in the surgical treatment of CNS tumors (primary and metastatic).
• Proficiency in spinal surgical techniques, including minimally invasive and traditional approaches.
• Commitment to collegial practice, patient-centered care, and community engagement.

Practice & Call Structure

• General neurosurgery call shared equally within the group.
• Expected case volume first year: 200–300 total cases.
• Approximate case mix: ~80% spine, ~20% cranial (tumor and other cranial pathologies).
• Support from experienced advanced practice providers in clinic and hospital.
• Active participation in tumor board and integrated cancer programs.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive base salary with productivity and quality incentives.
• Comprehensive benefits package including health insurance, retirement plan, malpractice coverage, and CME allowance.
• Relocation assistance and support for professional development.
• Pathway to leadership in neurosurgical oncology within a community hospital system.
