Summary of Position

The Lewis Katz School of Medicine (LKSOM) has an exciting opportunity for academically oriented general gastroenterologist to join a nationally recognized program with a rich history.  

 

The ideal candidate will be dedicated to providing the highest quality of clinical care, have a strong interest in education and pursuing academic and scholarly activities.  The opportunity includes both inpatient and outpatient responsibilities and endoscopy.  The selected candidate must have the ability to work cooperatively and collegially within a multidisciplinary, diverse environment.  Applicants are required to be BE/BC in gastroenterology and eligible for medical license in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. 

 

The Gastroenterology Section at Temple University Hospital is one of the nation’s most comprehensive centers for the diagnosis and treatment of digestive disorders, covering the full breadth of gastrointestinal diseases and liver disorders. We utilize some of the most advanced diagnostic technologies available in the country and specialize in advanced therapeutic endoscopic procedures that are only available in select centers. Our large and varied clinical practice takes advantage of the peerless state-of-the-art facilities of our Digestive Disease Center equipped with the latest diagnostic and therapeutic technologies for the management of everything from complex motility disorders and pancreatico-biliary diseases, to small intestinal conditions requiring deep, device-assisted enteroscopy and advanced endoscopic surgical techniques like POEM (Per oral Endoscopic Myotomy). In addition to our varied clinical activities, we are committed to the education and training of physicians. We offer a three-year fellowship that reflects the clinical activities of a large urban tertiary care referral hospital with the research opportunities provided by an outstanding faculty of recognized experts.

In addition to a competitive salary, and comprehensive suite of benefits – including a generous 403b retirement match, health, dental, vision, life, malpractice, tuition remission, CME, and more – the position offers a uniquely supportive practice environment strengthened by Temple’s mission-driven culture to provide and promote world class equitable patient care, research, and medical education. The program also provides mentorship opportunities for new faculty. Rank and salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
