Organ Transplant Center, Department of Surgery

University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics

The Department of Surgery and Organ Transplant Center at The University of Iowa are seeking a Licensed Clinical Psychologist to become an active member of a dynamic, specialized, interdisciplinary team of surgeons, physicians, nurses, social workers, pharmacists, dieticians, financial counselors, administrators and other support staff to participate in the evaluation of transplant recipients, donors and to support individuals becoming eligible for transplant.

The Organ Transplant Center provides clinical services to individuals in need of liver, kidney, and pancreas transplants, as well as potential donors. Clinical responsibilities include:

Psychological evaluations of patients in need of liver, kidney, and pancreas transplants, including the development of treatment plans to facilitate patient transplant candidacy. Most evaluations take place in an outpatient clinic setting, but some urgent assessments are performed in hospital.
Psychological evaluations of potential living donors.
Timely completion of written reports summarizing evaluation material, case conceptualization, and recommendations.
Provision of follow-up interventions with select patients who are deferred for listing, actively waitlisted, or post-transplant.
Post-surgical follow-up of living donors.
Possible consultation with select patients from the heart and lung transplant programs.
Participation in interdisciplinary transplant team meetings.
Attend Transplant Listing Meetings as a highly valued member of the team.

This position includes a faculty appointment at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine (non-tenure clinical track), with rank and salary commensurate with experience at a 1.0 FTE (100% clinical).

Incoming faculty will have access to mentoring opportunities and support for growth and innovation, as well as opportunities for collaboration within the Department of Surgery and with other departments. Working at the state’s only tertiary academic medical center offers unique opportunities for program development and application of skills for very complex patients. Additionally, psychologists working within the University of Iowa Healthcare system have opportunity to collaborate and associate with a large group of faculty psychologists housed in the Department of Psychiatry. The UI Department of Psychiatry has a long tradition of excellence in research, a well-developed research infrastructure, and ample patient populations that support efforts in a variety of areas of investigation.

The psychologist is welcome to engage in teaching at multiple levels, such as medical residents/fellows, medical students, and graduate students. Teaching opportunities include more formal didactics and clinical teaching in areas of the psychologist’s expertise. Supervision of graduate school practicum students from the University of Iowa Clinical Science (Clinical Psychology) program and fellows in Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry is highly encouraged.

The University of Iowa, Department of Surgery offers competitive salary, excellent benefits, and a collegial professional environment. The University of Iowa Health Care has been recognized as one of the best hospitals in the United States and is Iowa's only comprehensive academic medical center and regional referral center. Each day more than 12,000 employees, students, and volunteers work together to provide safe, quality health care and excellent service for our patients.
