Chief of Gastroenterology (m/f/d)

Our client operates a modern hospital with over 280 beds and a broad range of services designed to provide comprehensive regional care. In recent years, the hospital has evolved into a modern healthcare center. Its specialized departments include Internal Medicine, with a focus on Cardiology and Gastroenterology, geriatrics, general and visceral surgery, vascular surgery, trauma surgery, and orthopedics (including a spine surgery unit), obstetrics and gynecology, radiology, anesthesiology, and an affiliated ENT department. All modern diagnostic procedures are available, including, in particular, an in-house biplane cardiac catheterization laboratory with three EP monitoring stations and a 40-slice CT scanner. An in-house vocational school for nursing rounds out the offerings and ensures a steady supply of new talent.

The clinic is located in a forested low-mountain region that offers plenty of recreational opportunities. Secondary schools are available locally. Employees benefit from childcare spots at the neighboring daycare center, free parking, and a staff restaurant at the clinic.
