We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Plastic Surgery Residency Trained and Aesthetic Surgery Fellowship Trained surgeon to join our team. This is a unique opportunity to develop a practice dedicated to general plastic surgery with a focus on aesthetic plastic surgery. The successful candidate will be board certified or board eligible by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. In addition to advanced clinical skills, the successful candidate will also show promise as an academic surgeon with a track record of productivity in education and research.
About Us: The Department of Plastic Surgery, Maxillofacial and Oral Health provides comprehensive care for a variety of patients including programs in Adult Reconstruction, Pediatric Plastic and Craniofacial Surgery, Dentistry, Aesthetic Surgery and Hand Surgery. There is an ACGME accredited 6-year plastic surgery residency program within the department consisting of 2-3 integrated residents per year and teaching is considered a fundamental expectation of the faculty. There are ample resources for academic pursuits within the department and across grounds. In addition to clinical duties (90% effort), the faculty member will be expected to develop non-clinical activities related to education and research (10% effort) while also meeting expectations in the service-based arenas. Involvement in internal and external leadership positions is also encouraged. The successful applicant will have a primary appointment within Plastic Surgery and report primarily to Dr. Scott Hollenbeck, the Chair of the Plastic Surgery Department.
The Aesthetic Surgery service line is managed through the Craniofacial and Aesthetic Surgery Division, and is under the oversight of Division Chief Michael Grant, MD, PhD.
