Kidney Transplant Surgeon

Montefiore Einstein Transplant Center is seeking a mid to senior kidney/pancreas transplant surgeon for our busy program.

Montefiore Einstein Health System is a large University based health care system in NY with three tertiary care hospitals, a renowned Children’s Hospital, and multiple regional affiliates and clinics. The Transplant Center of Excellence includes solid organ programs in adult and pediatric liver transplant, pediatric and adult kidney transplant, pancreas transplant, lung transplant, live donor liver and kidney, and pediatric and adult heart transplant. The transplant program has been at the forefront of innovation and was one of the first transplant programs in the U.S., initiating in 1967. The first pancreas transplant in NY was performed here in 1972, and the first dedicated pediatric dialysis unit was opened here. The kidney transplant program performs over 230 kidney transplants per year including adults and children. There is a robust dual organ program with heart, lung, and liver programs. SRTR outcomes have exceeded national averages, and the program is among the most aggressive in the region in terms of organ acceptance. The program has a large academically oriented practice with nationally known transplant faculty and a dedicated HLA lab. The Transplant Surgery Division faculty perform both transplant and nontransplant surgical cases including live donor nephrectomy and general surgery in dialysis patients. The Transplant Center structure includes a physician director, medical and surgical directors, live donor directors, administrative leadership (Assistant VP) and assistant directors for Quality, Marketing, Practice Management, and Finance. The main transplant hospital center has a dedicated transplant floor for post patients staffed with transplant PA’s. There is an approved ASTS transplant fellowship.

The successful candidate will have demonstrable technical expertise in kidney/pancreas transplant surgery, leadership/business analytic skills, a track record of academic achievement, and at least five years post fellowship experience. Faculty appointment and rank in the Department of Surgery and Albert Einstein College of Medicine will be commensurate with the applicant’s record of achievement. The ideal candidate will be skilled in live donor nephrectomy, pancreas transplantation, and an aggressive organ utilization philosophy. Robotic experience is a plus.

In addition to a competitive salary of $500-$700K (based on experience and potential academic rank), we offer a comprehensive benefits package including LTD, STD, paid malpractice, health, dental, vision and a 403(b).
