DeTar Healthcare System | Victoria, Texas

Are you looking for more than just another employed Gastroenterology position?

DeTar Healthcare System is seeking a BC/BE Gastroenterologist to establish and grow the region's dedicated GI program. This is a unique opportunity to build a thriving practice with the support of an established health system, an extensive primary care referral network, and hospital leadership committed to expanding digestive health services.

• Flexibility to develop the practice based on your clinical interests
• Opportunity to expand procedural offerings as the program grows
• Collaborative medical staff and supportive physician leadership
• Ability to mentor Family Medicine residents and participate in clinical education
• Opportunities for clinical research and future program development

Practice Highlights

• Approximately 20-25 patients per clinic session

• ERCP experience welcomed but not required
• Independent contractor (1099 PSA) option available for physicians seeking additional flexibility

Compensation & Benefits

• Student loan repayment assistance
• CME allowance and paid licensure
• Relocation assistance
