Urology Surgicalist Position

Location: Worcester, MA

Our organization is actively looking for two skilled and committed BE/BC Urology Surgicalists to become part of our vibrant team. We encourage physician caregivers from all academic levels to apply and join us in our unwavering commitment to healing.

Position Overview:

The Urology Department at our institution provides an exceptional opportunity for physicians to engage in a high-volume academic surgical practice.

This hospital-based role focuses on the surgical and inpatient management of urological conditions, delivering urgent and emergent care for hospitalized patients, and offering surgical consultations in both the emergency department and inpatient settings. The work schedule is designed to promote a healthy work-life balance. Physicians will have access to cutting-edge OR technology, 24/7 imaging services, and interventional radiology support, along with a collaborative team that includes advanced practice providers, residents in a teaching hospital, and ancillary staff.

This position is particularly well-suited for urologists who thrive in fast-paced, acute care environments, ensuring quick access to surgical urology care, improving patient outcomes, reducing emergency department wait times, and minimizing the necessity for patient transfers. The chosen candidate will receive a highly competitive salary and benefits package, along with an academic appointment that reflects their experience and training. There are numerous opportunities for clinical, basic, translational, and health-related quality research within our dynamic and collaborative academic environment. This unique Urology Surgicalist role allows for a focus solely on impactful inpatient care without the pressures of an outpatient practice, while also providing significant avenues for professional advancement.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Conduct inpatient and emergency department urology consultations.
• Perform intra-operative consultations.
• Manage urgent and emergent urological procedures and surgeries (e.g., obstructing stones, gross hematuria, testicular torsion, urological trauma, urinary retention).
• Deliver comprehensive care for hospitalized urology patients, including post-operative management.
• Work closely with hospitalists, intensivists, emergency medicine physicians, and surgical subspecialists.
• Engage in surgical quality improvement initiatives and patient safety programs.
• Ensure accurate, thorough, and timely documentation in the electronic medical record.
• May supervise or mentor medical students, residents, or advanced practice providers.

Qualifications:

• MD or DO from an accredited medical institution.
• Board-certified or board-eligible in Urology.
• Eligible for medical licensure in Massachusetts.
• Strong communication, teamwork, and decision-making abilities.
• Comfortable managing high-acuity urological emergencies in a hospital environment.

Why Join Us:

• Our medical center is a premier regional academic facility offering cutting-edge surgical services and a strong dedication to outstanding patient care.
• Many of our physicians serve as both clinicians and faculty members, bridging the gap between our institution and the medical school, collaborating as physicians and researchers across various specialties.
• We prioritize continuous learning and professional development, investing in the growth of our physicians.
• As a Lean organization, we are committed to ongoing innovation.

Application Process:

Interested candidates are encouraged to submit a letter of interest along with their curriculum vitae.

Commitment to Respect:
We are dedicated to fostering a culture of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. Creating a diverse environment of educators and clinicians who bring unique insights and perspectives is essential to our mission. We are actively involved in various initiatives with the medical school and our health system to enhance diversity within our medical group in the spirit of inclusivity.
