Job Description

The Cardiothoracic Surgery Department at our organization is on the lookout for a talented and personable full-time thoracic surgeon to join our team at a healthcare facility in Erie, PA.


Position Overview

We are seeking an early to mid-career surgeon who has a keen interest and expertise in minimally invasive and robotic thoracic surgery. This role is part of a well-established general thoracic practice at our facility in Erie, Pennsylvania. Ideal candidates in the early stages of their careers would be recent graduates (within the last 1-2 years) from recognized general thoracic residency programs that include pulmonary and foregut training. However, we will also consider graduates from non-tracked cardiothoracic programs who come with strong recommendations. Mid-career applicants should demonstrate robust skills in minimally invasive techniques, including experience with robotics.


About the Facility

Our healthcare facility is a 423-bed hospital in Erie, PA, providing a comprehensive range of inpatient and outpatient services. As a regional referral center and Level II Trauma Center, we offer a multidisciplinary approach to thoracic oncology through our association with a National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. The candidate will become part of a well-established, dynamic minimally invasive thoracic surgery practice, equipped with advanced technologies such as the da Vinci Xi system and Monarch robotic bronchoscopy. Our existing team also handles a significant volume of minimally invasive benign esophageal surgeries.


Candidate Profile

The preferred candidate will be in the early to mid-career stage with experience in minimally invasive and robotic surgery. We are open to considering new graduates who possess outstanding credentials and references. Responsibilities will encompass all facets of general thoracic surgery, with a particular focus on thoracic oncology. A competitive salary will be offered, aligned with MGMA standards.
