MICROSURGERY FACULTY POSITION AT
PREMIER CANCER CENTER
The Fox Chase Cancer Center
is currently recruiting a full-time academic Plastic Surgeon to join the
Division of Plastic Surgery and Department of Surgical Oncology. The Division
currently employs three full-time fellowship trained microsurgeons, whose
practice includes reconstruction of the breast, head and neck, trunk/pelvis,
dermatologic malignancies and lymphedema surgery.
The ideal candidate is
board-eligible or board certified who has completed a microsurgery fellowship
and who has a specific interest in growing a complex reconstructive practice.
The candidate would be joining a busy practice of three microsurgeons who
are looking to expand the practice to additional regional hospitals. The candidate should have an in-depth
knowledge of the medical literature and have academic interests. The
position involves a busy clinical reconstructive practice which is almost
exclusively made up of cancer cases, with time protected for academic
activities. The practice is supported by Physician Assistants. The
applicant must have a commitment to teaching microsurgery fellows, and Temple
University plastic surgery residents.
The Fox Chase Cancer Center
is one of only two NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers in the
Philadelphia region and the nation’s oldest cancer center. It is a
self-contained 100-bed institution with its own SSO-approved fellowships in
surgical, medical, and urological oncology.
Fox Chase is
rapidly expanding its clinical and academic activities. Additionally, Fox Chase
has recently constructed a $67.6 million Cancer Research Pavilion that includes
a Women’s Center containing 12,000 sq. feet devoted to clinical space.
