Job description

Unique Hybrid Colorectal Surgery Opportunity on the Gulf Coast

Two premier health systems in the state of Alabama, UAB Medicine and Infirmary Health, have come together to improve cancer outcomes for our state by developing a jointly operated cancer service line for South Alabama under the leadership of the O'Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center at UAB, the only NCI designated comprehensive cancer center in Alabama with the goal of improving cancer outcomes for the citizens of the state.

The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) is a research university and academic health center that discovers, teaches, and applies knowledge for the intellectual, cultural, social, and economic benefit of Birmingham, the state, and beyond. UAB is internationally renowned for its intensely collaborative culture that has - for more than five decades - produced breakthroughs in education, health care, research, and service. UAB was ranked #1 in the United States, and in the top 10 worldwide, in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, 2018 Young University Rankings. As part of the UAB Health System, UAB Medicine is one of the nation's largest academic medical centers with more than 18,000 employees. UAB Medicine's flagship facility is the 1,207-bed UAB Hospital, one of the nation’s largest public hospitals. It includes the UAB Women & Infants Center, Spain Rehabilitation Center, the Center for Psychiatric Medicine, and the freestanding UAB Hospital-Highlands. In addition to UAB Hospital, UAB Medicine also includes The Kirklin Clinic of UAB Hospital, UAB Callahan Eye Hospital, as well as several primary and specialty care clinics and a dozen affiliate health systems within Alabama.

Infirmary Health has been delivering high-quality healthcare for over 110 years and is the largest integrated, not-for-profit, non-governmental healthcare system in Alabama and along the Central Gulf Coast. The system sees 1.5 million patient visits each year and has nearly 60 percent of the healthcare market share in the two counties it serves. With four hospitals, an employed multi-specialty group that includes 230 physicians and over 30 outpatient facilities, Infirmary Health is a leading healthcare provider in Alabama.

This position is located in Mobile, AL at Infirmary Cancer Care, an affiliate of the O'Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center at UAB. Currently, the program comprises 5 Medical Oncologists, 3 Radiation Oncologists, 3 Breast Surgeons, 3 Surgical Oncologist, 2 Colorectal Surgeons, and 2 Thoracic Surgeons that provide care at 2 multi-disciplinary cancer centers and 3 satellite offices.

This is a non-tenure earning, full clinical position within the Department of Surgery at the UAB Heersink School of Medicine with employment through the University of Alabama Health Services Foundation. The appointed candidates will also be members of the O'Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center at UAB.

Candidates will be offered competitive compensation based on MGMA benchmarks.
