This position is based at Shriners Children's Ohio, located on the campus of Dayton Children's Hospital, and includes a clinical practice split with approximately 20-40% of time spent providing care at Dayton Children's.

Shriners Children's Ohio specializes in providing expert surgical care for children with complex conditions, including craniofacial surgery, cleft lip and palate repair, acute burn care, burn reconstruction, and select plastic and reconstructive procedures.

Approximately 90% of clinical time is spent in the operating room, with occasional responsibilities including preoperative assessments and occasional PACU care. Surgical schedules vary from one to five days per week.
