About Us:
Sentara Medical Group and Eastern Virginia Medical School
(EVMS) are expanding our first-class, full-service academic plastic surgery
program in Virginia Beach and Norfolk, VA. Our program is primarily
situated at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, a 525-bed, level one trauma
center, and the main teaching hospital for EVMS. Voted #1 Hospital in Virginia,
our tertiary medical center with all specialties represented serves a large
patient population. The Virginia Beach - Norfolk metropolitan area, the largest
in Virginia, will greatly benefit from our robust plastic surgery program.
Position Overview:
We are currently seeking a plastic surgeon to join our
rapidly growing team of Plastic and Reconstructive surgeons. The diverse case
mix includes, but is not limited to, the full spectrum of breast and lymphatic reconstruction, scalp
reconstruction, oncologic reconstruction, and limb salvage in children and
adults. Ideal candidates will have a fellowship in Reconstructive Microvascular
Surgery. Sentara is committed to creating a sustainable work-life
balance for its surgeons. Joining our program provides access to advanced
practice providers, sufficient operative block time, office space, and
full-service clinical support.
Opportunities:
This role offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to
the development of a premier plastic surgery training program. Opportunities
extend to collaboration with Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughter,
Sentara Princess Anne Hospital, Sentara Leigh Hospital/Brock Cancer Center, and
utilization of office-based operating rooms.
Academic Environment:
Our integrated residency program is recently
approved to increase to two residents per year and is rapidly growing alongside
a large, multi-disciplinary team of surgeons that is also increasing. The EVMS
Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery has six Sentara Medical Group
faculty, three faculty at Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughter, two
surgeons at Portsmouth Naval Hospital, and twelve community faculty who are
committed to the mission of clinical excellence, research, education, and
leadership/administration. Multiple faculty are former Presidents and Chairman
of leading national societies. Our mission is to deliver superior care,
train the next generation of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, and perform
at a national level. EVMS has a rich history in Plastic and Reconstructive
Surgery, and there are ample research and educational opportunities.
Collaboration with Operation Smile and Professors of Old Dominion University
enhances the academic environment. An academic appointment at EVMS will be
based on experience, education, and academic productivity. The position is
available for Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor. Leadership positions in
clinical, administrative, and academic domains are possible and will be based
on previous experience. An interest in clinical research is preferred and will
be supported.
