Job description Central Illinois Adult Reconstructive Orthopedic Surgeon Opportunity

1 Hour South of Champaign | High-Volume Joints | $950,000+ Potential

Clinical Role
  • Permanent, full-time Adult Reconstructive / Total Joints Orthopedic Surgeon position

  • Seeking board certified or truly board eligible Orthopedic Surgeons with adult reconstruction focus

  • Monday–Friday 8:00am–5:00pm schedule

  • Option to work 4.5 days per week

  • Call 1:6, with a clear path to improvement

    • Four additional orthopedic hires are planned to join the same call pool

    • Once fully staffed, call improves to approximately 1:9

  • Cerner EMR

  • W2 position only

  • No visa sponsorship available

  • Will consider 2027 candidates for strong fits, with preference for earlier availability

Team & Practice Structure
  • Established orthopedic group including:

    • 3 full-time Orthopedic Surgeons (Sports, Upper Extremity, Joints)

    • 1 part-time General Orthopedic Surgeon

    • 5 Advanced Practice Providers (dedicated to physicians, not shared across practices)

  • Incoming surgeon would supervise an experienced APP who previously worked with the departing physician

  • Strong referral base and infrastructure to support a busy adult reconstruction practice

Compensation & Benefits
  • $950,000 base salary + RVU production

  • $75,000 sign-on bonus

  • $100,000 retention bonus

  • Comprehensive benefits package including:

    • Health, dental, and vision insurance

    • Life and disability coverage

    • Generous retirement plans

About the Organization
  • A non-profit regional health system serving East Central Illinois

  • Strong emphasis on patient-centered care, access, and quality outcomes

  • Broad service lines including emergency care, surgery, orthopedics, cardiology, maternity, pediatrics, and advanced imaging

  • Multiple clinics and specialty services supporting regional orthopedic demand

  • Known for stability, long-term physician retention, and community commitment

Community & Lifestyle – Effingham
  • Welcoming, family-oriented community with strong civic pride

  • Quiet neighborhoods, good schools, and a low-stress daily pace

  • Located at the crossroads of I-57 and I-70, offering excellent access to Champaign, St. Louis, Indianapolis, and beyond

  • Serves as a regional healthcare and commercial hub

  • Affordable cost of living, with housing and daily expenses well below national averages

  • Parks, walking trails, nearby lakes, and year-round community events

  • Short commute times—most under 15 minutes

Why This Opportunity Stands Out
  • Exceptional compensation with strong RVU upside

  • Established joints volume with APP and surgical support

  • Predictable weekday schedule

  • Improving call structure with planned recruitment

  • Ideal role for a surgeon seeking high income, stability, and long-term practice growth
