Mercy Hospital - Springfield, Missouri Seeking Fellowship-Trained Otologist/Neurotologist
Elevate Your Subspecialty Practice at a Premier Regional Referral Center
Mercy Hospital Springfield is seeking a fellowship-trained Otologist or Neurotologist to join our expanding, high-volume ENT program. This is a unique opportunity to practice at a tertiary referral hub serving a four-state region of nearly 2 million patients, with strong demand and immediate case volume.
You'll join a collaborative, multidisciplinary team in a well-established program that continues to grow in complexity and reach. With only one fellowship-trained otologist currently covering the region, this role offers the chance to quickly build a robust, advanced subspecialty practice.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- 90%+ Otology/Neurotology focus - build a true subspecialty practice
- Expand care in hearing implants (cochlear & bone-anchored), vestibular disorders, and skull-base surgery
- High demand with immediate access to complex cases and a strong referral base
- Practice in a leading tertiary care environment with cutting-edge resources
- Opportunity for teaching and research in a GME setting, if interested
Team & Program Strength
You'll be supported by a comprehensive, highly skilled team including:
- 3 Head & Neck Microvascular Surgeons
- Skull Base Neurosurgery & Neurointerventional specialists
- 3 General Otolaryngologists
- ENT Allergy services
- 6 Audiologists, 3 Vestibular Therapists, 6 Speech-Language Pathologists
- Facial Plastic Surgery
Position Highlights
- Negotiable $550,000 salary + $100,000 sign-on bonus + stipend opportunities
- General ENT call: 1 in 9-10 (primarily coverage only)
- Hospital-employed model with excellent access to ORs and ambulatory surgery centers
- Comprehensive, day-one family benefits, relocation assistance, and CME support
Why Mercy Springfield
- Only tertiary otology/neurotology referral center within 150 miles
- Serves Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, and Oklahoma
- Integrated support across Neurosurgery, Neurology, Audiology, Rehab, and Speech Therapy
Life in Springfield, Missouri
Enjoy an exceptional quality of life with:
- Low cost of living and strong housing options
- Excellent schools and family-friendly communities
- Abundant outdoor recreation - lakes, fishing, hiking, and biking
- A vibrant local scene with dining, arts, and entertainment
Build the Practice You've Trained For
If you're looking to grow a high-impact, subspecialty-focused practice in a supportive, collaborative environment-this is your opportunity.

About Company
Our Mercy health system was founded by the Sisters of Mercy in 1986. But our heritage goes back more than 185 years. It began with an Irish woman named Catherine McAuley, who wanted to help the poor women and children of Dublin. Though Catherine had a modest upbringing, she received an unexpected inheritance that allowed her to fulfill her dreams. In 1827, she opened the first House of Mercy in Dublin, intending to teach skills to poor women and educate children. Many volunteers came to help. A few years later, Catherine founded the Sisters of Mercy, the first religious order not bound to the rules of the cloister, whose Sisters were free to walk among the poor and visit them in their homes. By the time Catherine died in 1841, there were convents in Ireland and England, and in 1843, the Sisters of Mercy came to the United States. In 1871, they traveled to St. Louis and from there throughout the Midwest, beginning what would, today be known as Mercy.
Mercy, named one of the top five large U.S. health systems in 2018, 2017 and 2016 by IBM Watson Health, serves millions annually. Mercy includes more than 40 acute care and specialty (heart, children’s, orthopedic and rehab) hospitals, 800 physician practices and outpatient facilities, 44,000 co-workers and 2,100 Mercy Clinic physicians in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma. Mercy also has clinics, outpatient services and outreach ministries in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. In addition, Mercy's IT division, Mercy Technology Services, supply chain organization, ROi, and Mercy Virtual commercially serve providers and patients in more than 20 states coast to coast.
