Vascular Surgeon

The Division of Vascular Surgery at the University of Utah is seeking applications for a full-time board- eligible/certified vascular surgeon. Appointment will be at an Assistant/Associate Professor level in either a Clinical or Tenure Track commensurate with the candidate's experience. The Division of Vascular Surgery is among 8 clinical Divisions in the University of Utah Department of Surgery. The Division currently includes 6 faculty members that provide care at our University hospital and affiliated Primary Children's Hospital and Huntsman Cancer Institute to patients throughout the intermountain west. This tertiary academic medical center provides care to patients in Utah and five surrounding states in a referral area encompassing more than 10 percent of the continental US.

The target candidate will have experience in all aspects of vascular surgery, including both open and endovascular surgery. Experience in complex endovascular aortic surgery or limb salvage and a personal interest in building these components of a clinical practice is valued. Clinical time will be spent primarily at the University medical center along with satellite hospitals and clinics. In addition to providing patient care, the successful candidate will be involved in the teaching of vascular surgery fellows, residents, and medical students. The Division has a competitive 2-year Vascular Surgery Fellowship (5+2) with one trainee selected per year. Also, our fellows have support for participating in international surgery educational programs.

The target candidate will have a passion for pursuing academic vascular surgery. The Division has a solid infrastructure for undertaking clinical trials, health services/outcomes research, global surgery research, and translational investigation. The infrastructure includes two full-time research coordinators, along with access to research databases and statistical support. We actively participate in a number of industry-sponsored clinical trials, and maintain a strong working relationship with the major device companies. The Division also participates in multiple Vascular Quality Initiative procedure registries.
