ETSU's Division of Plastic Surgery is hiring for a full-time academic plastic surgeon at the Assistant / Associate Professor level with Quillen College of Medicine of East Tennessee State University in the Department of Surgery. Primary duties will include support for the plastic surgery needs of the Tri Cities region of Tennessee. The practice is expected to consist broad mix of breast reconstruction and elective general plastic surgery, and other areas as tailored to the expertise and interests of the surgeon, with opportunities for craniofacial, microvascular, orthoplastic, hand/upper extremity, and cosmetic surgery.
