Mercy Hospital - Springfield, Missouri Seeking Fellowship-Trained Otologist/Neurotologist
Elevate Your Subspecialty Practice at a Premier Regional Referral Center
Mercy Hospital Springfield is seeking a fellowship-trained Otologist or Otologist-Neurotologist to join our expanding, high-volume ENT program. This is a unique opportunity to practice at a tertiary referral hub serving a four-state region of nearly 2 million patients, with strong demand and immediate case volume.
You?ll join a collaborative, multidisciplinary team in a well-established program that continues to grow in complexity and reach. With only one fellowship-trained otologist currently covering the region, this role offers the chance to quickly build a robust, advanced subspecialty practice.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- 90%+ Otology/Neurotology focus - build a true subspecialty practice
- Expand care in hearing implants (cochlear & bone-anchored), vestibular disorders, and skull-base surgery
- High demand with immediate access to complex cases and a strong referral base
- Practice in a leading tertiary care environment with cutting-edge resources
- Opportunity for teaching and research, if interested
Team & Program Strength
You?ll be supported by a comprehensive, highly skilled team including:
- 3 Head & Neck Microvascular Surgeons
- Skull Base Neurosurgery & Neurointerventional specialists
- 3 General Otolaryngologists
- ENT Allergy services
- 6 Audiologists, 3 Vestibular Therapists, 6 Speech-Language Pathologists
- Facial Plastic Surgery
Position Highlights
- Negotiable $550,000 salary + sign-on bonus + stipend opportunities
- General ENT call: 1 in 9-10 (primarily coverage only)
- Hospital-employed model with excellent access to ORs and ambulatory surgery centers
- Comprehensive, day-one family benefits, relocation assistance, and CME support
Why Mercy Springfield
- Only tertiary otology/neurotology referral center within 150 miles
- Serves Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, and Oklahoma
- Integrated support across Neurosurgery, Neurology, Audiology, Rehab, and Speech Therapy
