The Department of Surgery at Tufts Medical Center is seeking an accomplished academic thoracic surgeon to serve as Division Chief of Thoracic Surgery. This is an exceptional opportunity to lead and grow a distinguished academic division within one of New England's premier integrated academic health systems.

Why Tufts Medicine?
Lead the next chapter of an outstanding academic division
The Division of Thoracic Surgery has a long tradition of excellence in the surgical treatment of thoracic and esophageal disease. Our program includes a highly successful minimally invasive and robotic thoracic surgery practice and is recognized for providing outstanding care to patients with complex benign and malignant thoracic conditions.
As Division Chief, you will have the opportunity to build upon this strong foundation by expanding clinical programs, strengthening regional partnerships, recruiting exceptional faculty, growing research initiatives, and shaping the future of thoracic surgery across Tufts Medicine.
Integrated cancer care
The Tufts Cancer Center is redefining cancer care through an integrated academic model that brings together four hospital-based cancer programs under a single mission. Combining the strengths of one academic medical center with three community cancer centers, we provide comprehensive cancer care across eastern Massachusetts through prevention, early diagnosis, innovative treatment, research, survivorship, and education.
Multidisciplinary excellence
Our thoracic surgeons work collaboratively with specialists in Pulmonary Medicine, Medical Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Gastroenterology, Interventional Pulmonology, Radiology, Pathology, Critical Care, and Rehabilitation Medicine to develop individualized treatment plans for patients with the most complex thoracic diseases. This highly collaborative approach ensures timely access to the latest therapies and exceptional patient outcomes.
Research and innovation
The Division of Thoracic Surgery provides patients access to innovative therapies through institutional and national clinical trials. Faculty are actively engaged in translational and clinical research focused on thoracic oncology, minimally invasive surgery, and novel therapeutic approaches, while collaborating across disciplines to advance the science of thoracic disease.
Education
Tufts Medical Center, the primary teaching hospital of the Tufts University School of Medicine, is home to an ACGME-accredited two-year Thoracic Surgery Residency that accepts one resident annually. The Division Chief will play a central role in resident education, faculty development, curriculum innovation, and mentoring the next generation of academic thoracic surgeons.
