Penn Medicine's Division of Plastic Surgery provides comprehensive
care across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and the Philadelphia region,
performing more than 4,800 surgeries annually. Clinic locations
include the three primary downtown hospitals well as four outlying
hospitals. Our Penn Plastic Surgery team specializes in cosmetic
and reconstructive surgery, as well as a comprehensive skin care
program. We have well-established collaborative reconstruction
programs with breast surgery, orthopedics, trauma, sarcoma and soft
tissue cancers, and neurosurgery as key partners in this clinical
practice. The Division is a national leader and among the world's
largest centers by clinical volume in reconstructive microsurgery.
The Division maintains strong partnerships with oncology, trauma
and emergency services surgery, imaging, and pathology, enabling a
fully integrated care model that supports advanced surgical
approaches, coordinated treatment planning, and access to clinical
trials.

As Penn Medicine continues to further align our comprehensive
plastic surgery program across its regional network, there is a
meaningful opportunity for the Division Chief to provide leadership
in the oversight of plastic surgery services to strengthen
collaborative programmatic alignment at satellite locations.
