Stritch School of Medicine is seeking a Burn Center Director. The Raymond
Springer Endowed Director of Burn is a unique opportunity for an exceptional,
ambitious, energetic, and innovative leader to direct and expand the clinical,
educational and research programs nationally, within Loyola, and within the
larger Loyola/Trinity Health System network. The Burn Center Director works
closely with the Department of Surgery leadership and hospital administration
to develop and implement strategic plans to create well rounded and efficient
clinical services. This individual is also responsible for recruitment and
retention of high-quality faculty and is a visible and accessible mentor and
role model to all division faculty, as well as planning and leading initiatives
to facilitate clinical quality, academic and clinical productivity, and
enhancement of patient satisfaction.
The Loyola Burn Center is located in Maywood, Illinois on the
western edge of Chicago and is verified by both the ABA and ACS. There were
over 650 burn center admissions generating nearly 600 operative procedures
performed this past year by the 3 faculty members of the burn section who are
part of our 9-member Division of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery. Other
professionals of the care team include general surgery residents, advance
practice providers, occupational and physical therapists, nutritionists, pharmacists,
and social workers. The clinical and educational programs are closely aligned
with the Burn Shock Trauma Research Institute (BSTI). The BSTI programs include
ongoing basic, translational and clinical trial activities in wound healing,
sepsis, acute kidney injury and alcohol associated injuries. There are 2 NIH
T32 training grants within the BSTI in addition to NIH, DOD, and other source
funding totaling over $6.1M (FY14), placing Loyola Surgery at #17 nationally in
NIH funding among departments of surgery.
A medical degree and board certification by the American Board of
Surgery with added qualifications in surgical critical care and completion of a
one-year fellowship in burn treatment are required. In lieu of fellowship, candidates should have
at least 5 years of experience working in a multidisciplinary burn
program. A strong track record of
research accomplishment with extramural funding is preferred. This is a full-time faculty position and
salary will be commensurate with experience.
Interested candidates should also have a strong interest in teaching
residents and medical students and the successful candidate will be at the rank
of Associate or Full Professor.
