What you will do :

The Methodist Transplant Institute, in partnership with The University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC) in Memphis, Tennessee, is accepting applications for the medical director of transplant hepatology.  As a leader in the field of organ transplantation for more than 40 years, this transplant program provides liver, kidney and pancreas transplantation, living donor organ transplantation, and hepatobiliary surgery to patients with end stage organ disease in the Midsouth.

The ideal candidate for the medical director would have greater than 5 years post-fellowship experience in liver transplantation.

The medical director should be a charismatic, skilled leader with a track record of supporting excellent patient outcomes, fostering program growth, and ensuring compliance with UNOS and OPTN rules and bylaws. The director should have extensive experience in the care of patients with advanced liver disease at all levels, including evaluation of pre-transplant candidates, donor selection, proper maintenance of the waitlist and long-term post-transplant care of liver transplant recipients. The director should be able to build relationships with community and internal partners.

The current transplant program boasts an active practice in deceased donor adult and pediatric liver transplantation. There is an existing foundation within the current program to build upon to re-initiate the living donor liver transplant program. The medical director would work side by side with the surgical director, quality director, and the senior administrative director of transplant to ensure high quality patient outcomes while broadening the reach of the Methodist Transplant Institute.

Participation in the training of medical students, gastroenterology  fellows, and transplant hepatology fellows is expected. Opportunities to participate in clinical and translational research exist through our endowed Transplant Research Institute.

Supervision of advanced practice providers is required.
