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.

This position will include a faculty appointment within the Division of Breast Surgery of Northwestern University.

This position offers an opportunity to work with a multidisciplinary oncology team to care for inpatients at Northwestern Memorial Hospital and outpatients at the Lynn Sage Comprehensive Breast Center of Northwestern Medicine.
