Why CHRISTUS Health?
At CHRISTUS Health, our team is our greatest asset. From our award-winning medical staff to our dedicated housekeeping and ancillary staff, we are united by a common goal: providing exceptional care to all, regardless of economic background.

- Average Operative Volume: The typical caseload includes 3-4 major elective surgeries per week and 5-10 outpatient procedures, depending on the number of calls taken. Surgeries can be performed at the outpatient surgery center, depending on the type of procedure. Currently, surgeons perform 5-8 colonoscopies per day, with the potential to increase as more NP support becomes available and clinic volume grows. There is no required minimum for the number of colonoscopies.

- Requirements:
- Must be Board-Certified or Board-Eligible
