Colorectal Surgeon Jobs in Washington

A Colorectal Surgeon, also known as a Proctologist, is a specialized professional in the physician industry who focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases of the colon, rectum, and anus. They address conditions such as hemorrhoids, fissures, abscesses, fistulas, colorectal cancers, and other gastrointestinal issues. These surgeons may also perform colonoscopies, which are procedures that enable the detection and removal of precancerous polyps. Colorectal Surgeons both operate on and provide non-surgical treatment for these diseases, typically working in hospitals, clinics, or private practices.

Important skills for a Colorectal Surgeon include excellent manual dexterity, problem-solving skills, and the ability to remain calm under pressure. Strong communication skills are essential to explain complex medical conditions and procedures to patients. As for certifications, they require a medical degree from an accredited school, residency in general surgery, and fellowship in colorectal surgery. They must also pass the American Board of Colon and Rectal Surgery certification exam. Prior to becoming a Colorectal Surgeon, roles one may have include Medical Intern, General Surgery Resident, and Colorectal Surgery Fellow.
