Community Description: Nestled in beautiful Northern California, Sacramento is one of the most ethnically diverse and livable cities in America. The capital city of California serves as the political nucleus of one of the nation's most influential states, the sixth-largest economy in the world. The area offers a wide variety of activities to enjoy, including fine dining, shopping, biking, boating, river rafting, skiing, or attending one of many different cultural events. Because of its central location, Lake Tahoe, San Francisco, the vineyards of Napa Valley, and the historical Gold Rush towns of the foothills are all within easy driving distance.

Mercy Medical Group (MMG), a multi-specialty group with more than 550 healthcare providers in the Sacramento region, is looking to add a BE/BC fellowship-trained Minimally Invasive Surgeon to its Surgery Department. As a part of Dignity Health Medical Foundation, MMG doctors provide services to patients at Dignity Health locations throughout Sacramento, which include four renowned hospitals and numerous multispecialty clinics.
