Job description

Academic Surgical Oncologist Opportunity in Southern California [Breast plus at least one of Cutaneous, Soft Tissue, Endocrine]

Assistant/Associate Professor of Surgery, Division of Surgical Oncology

Loma Linda University Faculty Medical Group

Position Overview:

The Department of Surgery at Loma Linda University School of Medicine is seeking a fellowship trained surgical oncologist to join our team for the position of Assistant or Associate Professor of Surgery. Patients with a wide variety of complex general surgical oncology conditions are managed in the Loma Linda University Cancer Center and its network of affiliated clinics with a full complement of multidisciplinary specialists. The applicant must have a commitment to research and education and will work closely with medical students, residents, and fellows. The Department of Surgery currently trains one Complex General Surgical Oncology fellow per year and one International Surgical Oncology fellow per year. The Division of Surgical Oncology includes Complex General and Breast Surgical Oncology faculty in a Commission on Cancer accredited academic cancer program. The Division services a variety of practice settings, including the flagship tertiary academic medical center moving toward NCI designation, as well as affiliated community cancer programs and satellite clinics serving San Bernardino and Riverside Counties.

The current need is for a surgeon to split a practice between the main campus in Loma Linda and one of the satellite practice locations in either Murrieta or Rancho Mirage. The surgeon’s clinical practice will include breast cancer plus at least one of cutaneous, soft tissue, and/or endocrine disease sites. This assignment continues a pattern of equitable sharing in the total portfolio of the Division, with the rest of the faculty—including the Department Chair and the Division Chief—also responsible for satellite services at similar or greater distances and frequencies, helping to reduce access barriers and disparities in this underserved region.

Loma Linda University's Division of Surgical Oncology offers one of five ACGME accredited Complex General Surgical Oncology fellowships in California and is one of only four institutions west of the Mississippi River with ACGME training programs in the "big three" of cancer - surgical oncology, medical oncology, and radiation oncology. The Division is also home to one of the very few programs in the United States offering regular, formal training in surgical oncology to international candidates for the mitigation of surgical oncology workforce deficiencies in low- and middle-income countries. There are ample leadership opportunities in this Division. Candidates must have appropriate board certification and licensure. Women and underrepresented surgeons are encouraged to apply.

The Department of Surgery Commitment is to enable surgical faculty and trainees to reach their highest professional and academic potential while serving the Loma Linda University mission to make people whole. Our vision is to create global surgical leaders in whole person care, education, and research. Faculty with interests in global surgery can participate in the University’s Center for Global Surgery.

Loma Linda University Faculty Medical Group is affiliated with Loma Linda University Health and School of Medicine, with the mission to deliver whole person care at a world-class level of clinical excellence. The state-of-the-art Troesh Medical Campus serves as the largest tertiary
