Responsibilities include providing surgical services at Northwestern Medicine’s downtown Chicago location. This role will include training (medical students, residents, and breast surgery fellows), taking breast call, rounding and caring for pre-op and post-op patients in concert with the clinical team, and responding to daily local consultation requests and referrals. The candidate will play a vital role in the growth and coordination of care and other distinctive programming throughout our cancer program and will have significant opportunities for leadership development throughout the Northwestern Medicine system. This position will include a faculty appointment within the Division of Breast Surgery of Northwestern University.
