It will include the role Chief of the Division of Plastic Surgery, with administrative responsibilities as one of 11 division chiefs in the department. Candidates for the position should embrace all parts of our tripartite mission: to be a world leader in clinical care, research and education. They should have a demonstrated record of excellence in one or more components of that mission and are expected to have a record of service and administration, outstanding interpersonal and communication skills, and a compelling vision for the department and the discipline. Rank will be commensurate with experience.
Penn Medicine's Division of Plastic Surgery provides comprehensive care across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and the Philadelphia region, performing more than 4,800 surgeries annually. Clinic locations include the three primary downtown hospitals well as four outlying hospitals. Our Penn Plastic Surgery team specializes in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, as well as a comprehensive skin care program. We have well-established collaborative reconstruction programs with breast surgery, orthopedics, trauma, sarcoma and soft tissue cancers, and neurosurgery as key partners in this clinical practice. The Division is a national leader and among the world's largest centers by clinical volume in reconstructive microsurgery. The Division maintains strong partnerships with oncology, trauma and emergency services surgery, imaging, and pathology, enabling a fully integrated care model that supports advanced surgical approaches, coordinated treatment planning, and access to clinical trials.
As Penn Medicine continues to further align our comprehensive plastic surgery program across its regional network, there is a meaningful opportunity for the Division Chief to provide leadership in the oversight of plastic surgery services to strengthen collaborative programmatic alignment at satellite locations.
