The SOM has responsibility for educating approximately 1400 medical students, residents, and fellows. The Surgery Department also has extensive research laboratories at the UMKC School of Medicine, making advances in treating shock due to severe blood loss and infection and in the neurosciences, resulting in exemplary basic science and clinical research.

The next Chair of Surgery will build on the success of prior leadership while defining the future culture of the Department, leveraging the talents of a diverse group of 92 faculty members, 31 residents, staff, and students stretched across the SOM affiliates including Veterans Affairs, St. Luke’s Hospital, Children’s Mercy Hospital, and UH as the medical school and health system is growing.  The candidate will also demonstrate a commitment to promoting an academic and clinical culture that values health equity for communities served by UMKCSOM and UH and a commitment to providing a just, equitable, diverse, and inclusive environment for all members, trainees, and affiliates of the Department.

The successful candidate will be a visionary surgeon with administrative leadership and faculty management experience, in addition to a demonstrated track record of achievement commensurate with appointment to the faculty at the rank of Associate or Full Professor in the UMKC SOM.
