Position Summary
The
Department of Surgery at the University of New Mexico (UNM) School of
Medicine is seeking a full-time surgeon with training, experience, and
expertise in Burn Surgery, to serve as Director of the UNM Burn
Program. The successful candidate will lead the only adult and pediatric
burn program in the state of New Mexico.
Candidates with
training in either Plastic Surgery or General Surgery are encouraged to apply.
A Fellowship in Burn Surgery is highly desirable. This is an open-rank,
full-time 1.0 FTE academic faculty position.
The successful
candidate must be able to direct the comprehensive management of major burn
patients including acute resuscitation, intensive care, burn surgery, and have
expertise in state-of-the-art management of complex burn injuries including the
use of newer skin-coverage techniques. They should be familiar with
reconstructive surgery techniques, including laser reconstruction. The selected
candidate will collaborate with physical and occupational therapy to ensure we
develop robust care pathways for rehabilitation, and with social work/ case
management to facilitate successful community re-integration. The candidate
will be committed to maintaining the highest standards of holistic burn
management as demonstrated by meeting ABA quality criteria, as we work towards
building an ABA-verified burn center.
The successful
candidate will partner with our existing burn surgeons, including Dr. Sharmila
Dissanaike, Past-President of the American Burn Association and Chair of the
Department of Surgery, who is currently serving as Interim Burn Director. The
core burn team includes several APPs and rotating residents from both General
Surgery and Plastic Surgery. The core team is further supported by members of
the Division of Plastic Surgery who provide additional operative and weekend
coverage, the Division of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery that provides care in
the acute resuscitative phase and after-hours coverage, the Center for Adult
Critical Care that provides comprehensive 24/7/365 adult ICU coverage and the
Pediatric Intensive Care Unit that provides 24/7/365 ICU coverage of children.
Both ICUs have 24/7 in-house attending intensivist coverage.
As a full-time
academic surgeon, the selected candidate is expected to lead burn education for
medical students, residents, fellows, and faculty across specialties involved
in the care of burn patients, including nurses, first-responders, and others
involved in burn care. Participation in a telemedicine program currently in
development to better serve the needs of the region is also expected.
An interest in
advancing the science of burn surgery through basic, translational, clinical
and/or outcomes research is highly desirable. The successful candidate must
demonstrate the ability to work collaboratively, lead a multidisciplinary team,
and have a commitment to advancing the clinical, educational, and academic
missions of the Department. There will be strong mentorship and sponsorship of
the Burn Director in developing local, regional, national and international
prominence as a leader in burn surgery.
