The Department of Cardiothoracic and Thoracic Surgery in the WVU School of Medicine and the WVU Heart & Vascular Institute are actively recruiting a board certified/eligible cardiothoracic surgeon with a specialty interest in Adult Cardiac Surgery. The Division works within a multidisciplinary framework and provides comprehensive cardiac care to our patients, fostering a collaborative quality and outcome-driven framework.

At the WVU Heart & Vascular Institute, you’ll join a renowned team of surgeons, medical and interventional cardiologists, radiologists, vascular specialists, and others making an extraordinary difference in the lives of patients not only locally, but across our entire state. Ours is a collaborative atmosphere that allows you to practice advanced medicine in a highly satisfying academic environment. Our mission is to provide the best possible heart and vascular care for our patients. We do so by recruiting some of the finest physicians from across the country – men and women who are often recognized leaders in their specialty or subspecialty; investing heavily in new technology; practicing – and frequently developing – the latest techniques in heart and vascular care; and placing the highest emphasis on achieving great quality outcomes. While this position may be based in Morgantown, the WVU Heart Institute operates several satellite clinics whereby all section faculty have the opportunity to participate at the discretion of the department. This position may practice at Wheeling Hospital in Wheeling, WV as well.

WVU Medicine is West Virginia University’s affiliated health system, West Virginia’s largest private employer, and a national leader in patient safety and quality. WVU Medicine is an 11-hospital $ 2.5 billion integrated health care delivery system anchored by a 690-bed academic medical center that offers quaternary care. WVU Medicine has 1,580 active medical staff members and 18,395 employees who serve hundreds of thousands of people each year from across the state of West Virginia and the nation.

Morgantown, West Virginia is consistently rated as one of the best small metropolitan areas in the country for both lifestyle and business climate. We are located just over an hour south of Pittsburgh, PA and three hours from Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, MD. The area offers the cultural diversity and amenities of a large city in a safe, family-friendly environment. There is also an excellent school system, an abundance of beautiful homes, and recreational activities such as hiking, biking, skiing, white-water rafting, and many others.

Successful candidates must have an MD or DO degree (the employer accepts foreign educational equivalent) and be eligible to obtain an unrestricted West Virginia medical license. Candidates must be board-certified, or board eligible in cardiovascular surgery. For appointment at the Associate Professor or Professor rank, a demonstrated track-record of leadership, excellent communication skills, and publications in high-impact journals are required. All qualifications must be met by the time of appointment.
