Position Overview

Understanding the Role

Your Gateway to Lifestyle Anesthesiology

Imagine stepping into a practice where your expertise in regional anesthesia becomes the cornerstone of exceptional orthopedic surgery outcomes, where your weekends belong entirely to you, and where the phrase "on call" simply doesn't exist in your vocabulary. This is the reality awaiting you at this premier orthopedic surgery center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where DPI Anesthesia seeks a General Anesthesiologist to join their thriving, physician-led outpatient practice.

Here, you'll discover what many anesthesiologists spend their careers searching for: the perfect synthesis of high-volume procedural excellence and genuine work-life balance. Your days will be filled with the intellectual stimulation of performing 20–25 ultrasound-guided regional blocks, while your evenings and weekends remain entirely your own—a stark contrast to the exhausting hospital rotations and unpredictable call schedules that plague so many in our specialty.

This Orthopedic Surgery Center serves as a premier destination for orthopedic excellence in Louisiana's capital region, drawing from a metropolitan population of nearly 880,000 residents who depend on this facility for their specialized surgical needs. As the only dedicated orthopedic surgery center of its caliber in the region, it has established itself as the go-to facility for athletes, active professionals, and community members seeking the highest quality orthopedic care. This consistent demand ensures a robust case volume that will keep your skills sharp and your practice engaging, without the feast-or-famine variability common in other settings.

  • Board Certification Required: General Anesthesiology with active Louisiana medical license (or eligibility to obtain)
  • Regional Expertise Essential: Strong ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia skills for high-volume block practice
  • Collaborative Leadership Style: Medical supervision model emphasizing teamwork over hierarchy
  • Four-Day Commitment: Choose Monday–Thursday or Tuesday–Friday based on your lifestyle preferences
  • Immediate Opportunity: Position available for early 2026 start with expedited 30–60 day credentialing
  • Teaching Potential: Opportunity to precept residents and SRNAs in regional techniques as the program develops
  • Direct Employment: Stable position with DPI Anesthesia, a physician-led group with 30+ years of regional presence

Your role here transcends the traditional anesthesiologist position. You'll serve as the regional anesthesia expert who enables orthopedic surgeons to achieve exceptional outcomes through superior pain control and patient satisfaction. The collaborative relationship between anesthesiology and orthopedics represents a model of interdisciplinary excellence rarely achieved in today's healthcare environment.
