Located at Northwestern Medicine’s downtown campus, the department offers state-of-the-art facilities and the opportunity to collaborate with experts across various fields of study. Northwestern Medicine is one of the premier academic medical systems in the nation, and the Department of Surgery is positioned among leading surgery departments in NIH funding. Northwestern University and Northwestern Memorial Hospital are both highly ranked nationally, and the Department of Surgery has long-standing collaborations with numerous educational, academic, and professional organizations. This rich environment provides an unmatched opportunity to join a thriving team of clinicians, educators and researchers.
