About this role (Full-Time)

Full-time thoracic surgeons at ProCure are committed to revolutionizing the field of thoracic organ recovery in the United States, alongside our team of coordinators, thoracic surgeons, abdominal surgeons, perfusionists, and operations specialists. You will support your implanting surgical colleagues by providing the full spectrum of thoracic procurement procedures (brain-dead heart and lung, DCD lung, and NRP), using each case as an opportunity to mentor trainees, advance research, and generally improve the quality and professionalism of the organ recovery system. Outside of the operating room, full-time surgeons hold important positions of leadership with focus on professional education, operations and logistics, informatics, transplant policy, and the many other components of ProCure’s mission. Compensation is comprised of a base salary with additional fees for each case completed, and overall case volume targets are set to maintain exceptional total compensation while allowing a healthy balance of operative and non-operative pursuits.

Essential Functions (Full-Time)
