Notably, 61% of residents who complete their training at a NorthStar-affiliated academic medical center go on to fellowships at renowned programs across the country.

Further, with our triad model, our clinical team members have regular opportunities to engage in decision-making and mentorship to optimize the clinician experience.
At NorthStar Anesthesia, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to staffing our locations. Rather than emphasize ratios, we build the right staffing model for each location and case mix, prioritizing our anesthesia care team approach to meet patient needs.
We use a variety of compensation models. Base compensation covers agreed upon hours and caseload, and anything above and beyond that is compensated based on discussions among the team.
Regardless of your compensation relationship with NorthStar, we strive to optimize the administrative responsibilities involved in your practice so you can focus on what you do best: Care for patients.
Unlike a growing number of anesthesia groups, we are not funded by private equity investors. Rather, we are a leading, national anesthesia practice company, founded by an anesthesiologist and a CRNA more than 10 years ago. Supported by a long-term holding company, we are positioned to prioritize strategic, long-term investments across our business rather than short-term shareholder gains.
We aim for optimal staffing at each location to provide both the best care for patients and a healthy balance for clinicians. Scheduling is determined by local teams, which allows you to maximize the flexibility of your hours while still growing as a professional and, when possible, taking on the cases compatible with your clinical interests.
