Step into a practice opportunity designed for both immediate impact and long-term professional growth. This full-time Otolaryngology position at IU Health Arnett places you at the center of a comprehensive healthcare system serving over 250,000 residents across eight counties in west central Indiana. Unlike many academic settings where you might feel lost in a large department, or private practices where you're isolated from resources, this role offers the perfect balance – you'll be part of a close-knit team with the backing of Indiana University Health's extensive network and resources.
Your practice will encompass the full spectrum of general ENT care, serving a diverse patient population from pediatric ear tubes to complex adult sinus procedures. With Tippecanoe County as your primary service area and referrals extending from surrounding counties, you'll find yourself providing essential care to patients who often travel significant distances to reach your expertise. The current wait time of 40–63 days for new patients clearly demonstrates the urgent community need for additional ENT services.
The departing physician's productivity data reveals the robust nature of this practice – Dr. Vick completed 1,810 patient encounters in 2024 while still learning the system, demonstrating the substantial patient volume available. With Dr. Capero's 2,055 encounters and 645 surgical cases annually, plus Dr. Henson's remarkable 120th percentile productivity in a part-time role, the data clearly shows this market can easily support additional providers working at their preferred pace.
This represents more than just a job opening – it's an opportunity to help shape the future direction of ENT services in a thriving community while enjoying the stability and resources of a major health system.
