staff surgeon
Employed surgical doctor
A staff surgeon is a surgeon who holds a permanent position at a hospital or medical institution, as distinguished from visiting surgeons or those in training.
In military contexts, particularly naval services, staff surgeon historically designated a specific commissioned rank for medical officers.
The term emphasizes that the surgeon is part of the regular establishment rather than serving in a temporary or consulting capacity.
