The Division of Trauma, Surgical Critical Care, Burns, and Acute Care Surgery at MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio, is accepting applications for a full-time academic surgeon. Successful candidates should be board-certified/eligible in General Surgery with added qualifications in Surgical Critical Care and have a strong interest in teaching.

We are seeking a full-time faculty commitment from a surgeon interested in providing high quality care to trauma, emergency general surgery, and critically ill patients.

We have a critical care fellowship program and train residents from all over the region including many ED residents, Cleveland Clinic surgery residents, and our own surgical residency program through CWRU and University Hospitals of Cleveland. There is opportunity for leadership development and growth both locally and regionally.
