They will work in clinic M-F (8am-5pm). OR time will be fluid as it just depends on when an OR block opens
up. There will be night call after clinic mostly. It is beeper call. The main clinician will take all the call but if
she is unavailable some weekends, they may ask the locum provider to cover 24hr beeper call. Usually they
only get one call a day and may not even have to go in will just need to answer the call.

surgeon or a general surgeon with extensive breast experience. The surgeon should be able to preform
lumpectomy, mastectomies including nipple, sparing mastectomy, participate in joint oncoplastic surgeries,
sentinel note biopsy, and axillary dissection. They should also have facile knowledge of high risk and benign
breast disease as well as survivorship.
