Are you ready for a career that blends advanced surgical care, meaningful community impact, and the breathtaking beauty of Alaska? Join Tanana Chiefs Conference (TCC) and make a difference serving Alaska Native and American Indian communities at the Chief Andrew Isaac Health Center and Ambulatory Surgery Center.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Vitreo-retinal and oculoplastic surgeries
  • Laser treatments
• Provide post-operative care and patient education
• Collaborate with Optometry and multidisciplinary teams
• Lead outreach village field clinics and support community care initiatives
• Contribute to quality improvement, reporting, and clinical excellence

Where You’ll Work

• Chief Andrew Isaac Health Center (CAIHC)
• TCC Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC)
• Occasional travel to rural village clinics

What You Bring

• MD or DO from an accredited program
• Completion of Ophthalmology residency
• Board Certified or Board Eligible (ABO)
