Seeking a full-time general surgeon interested in an academic acute care surgery practice, providing Level I trauma care, emergency general surgery and surgical critical care in the metro region of Charlotte, North Carolina.
Atrium Health’s Division of Acute Care Surgery (ACS) currently employs 18 full-time, academic faculty and 4 military faculty, and 20 advanced practice providers (APP) providing urgent care to acutely ill and injured patients at two AH facilities, Carolinas Medical Center and Atrium Health University City. Carolinas Medical Center (CMC) is AH’s flagship 874-bed hospital, and an American College of Surgeons verified Level I Trauma Center, serving as the region’s only Level I center. Our division provides advanced clinical care including extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), video assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), a surgical stabilization of rib fractures program, robotic surgery, complex abdominal wall surgery, and trauma sequalae surgery, as well as a robust clinical and outcomes research program and leadership development programs. CMC supports its own fellowship and residency programs and serves as the largest clinical facility for the Wake Forest School of Medicine. CMC’s F.H. “Sammy” Ross, Jr. Trauma Center leads regional trauma system development and the Metrolina Trauma Advisory Committee, providing robust trauma education, simulation curricula, innovative injury prevention programs, quality programs, and working closely with the Trauma Survivors Network. Our division also collaborates closely with pediatric surgeons to provide care for injured children in our verified Level I Pediatric Trauma Center. The Division of ACS supports fellowship programs in Surgical Critical Care and Acute Care Surgery and maintains a strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in hiring, mentoring, and promotion. The Division of ACS is recruiting a well-trained acute care surgeon to join our team.
