What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in colorectal surgeon jobs.
- Board certification or active eligibility in colon and rectal surgery from ABCRS
- Completion of an ACGME-accredited colon and rectal surgery fellowship

Tips for Your Colorectal Surgeon Job Search
Tailor your CV to each setting
Academic medical centers want a record of publications and teaching, while private groups prioritize volume and OR efficiency. Pull from your actual case logs and outcomes data so each version of your CV speaks directly to what that employer values.
Highlight your robotic and laparoscopic credentials
Robotic colorectal experience is now a hard filter for many health systems, not a bonus. List your da Vinci certification, total robotic case volume, and any advanced laparoscopic fellowships early in your CV so screeners spot them without hunting.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists colorectal surgeon openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Request a call log before your site visit
Call coverage structure varies enormously and affects quality of life as much as salary does. Before committing to a site visit, ask whether call is shared with general surgeons, how many nights per month you'd cover, and whether APP backup is available.
Prepare a formal case presentation for interviews
Many colorectal surgery interviews include a case presentation or grand-rounds-style talk. Choose a case that demonstrates your judgment under pressure, your complication management, and your ability to communicate with a multidisciplinary team.
Negotiate non-compete scope before signing
Non-compete clauses in colorectal surgery contracts often cover a radius large enough to force relocation if you leave. Have a healthcare attorney review the geographic scope and duration so you understand your options before you sign anything.
Colorectal Surgeon Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most colorectal surgeons?
The companies hiring the most colorectal surgeons right now include CommonSpirit Health, Ascension, and Medconnect, with the largest share of openings in California, Iowa, and Indiana, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand is typically highest at large regional health systems and academic medical centers with dedicated colorectal surgery divisions.
How many colorectal surgeon jobs are remote?
About 25% of colorectal surgeon openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the fact that most of the role requires in-person surgical and clinical work. Telehealth-only positions do exist, primarily in post-operative follow-up, second-opinion consultation, and IBD management, and are most common within large multi-site health systems that have built out virtual care programs.
How do you become a colorectal surgeon?
You become a colorectal surgeon by completing medical school, followed by a general surgery residency, and then a colon and rectal surgery fellowship accredited by the ACGME. After training, you sit for the American Board of Colon and Rectal Surgery certification exam. The full pathway from medical school through fellowship takes well over a decade before you can practice independently.
Can I get hired as a colorectal surgeon without fellowship training?
Most colorectal surgery positions require fellowship training and board certification or eligibility, so roles without that credential are rare and typically limited to general surgery positions with a colorectal focus. If you're a general surgeon with substantial colorectal volume but no formal fellowship, targeting community hospitals or rural health systems where subspecialty coverage is scarce gives you the best chance of landing relevant work while you pursue additional credentialing.
What does the colorectal surgeon interview process look like?
The interview process for colorectal surgeon positions typically involves an initial phone or video screening with a physician recruiter or department chair, followed by a formal site visit that includes meetings with surgical leadership, the OR team, hospital administrators, and often the credentialing committee. Many programs ask for a case presentation or grand-rounds-style talk. The full process from first contact to offer commonly runs several months.
Where can I find and apply to colorectal surgeon jobs?
You can find and apply to colorectal surgeon jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from health systems, academic medical centers, private groups, and multispecialty practices across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your specialty focus and practice setting, then apply directly to each position that fits.
