Chair, Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine



Location:

Open Date:

Sep 4, 2024

Description:

Tulane University School of Medicine is seeking accomplished and experienced physician leaders to be considered for the position of Chair of the Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine and the M
erryl and Sam Israel Endowed Chair in Anesthesiology.  This is a unique opportunity for an experienced anesthesiologist to assume the role of the department chair, expanding the scope and scale of the Department to initially expand beyond the operating room doors into perioperative care.

Tulane University School of Medicine has a rich history ideally located in one of the most culturally vibrant cities in the United States, New Orleans. The Department of Anesthesiology is an integral part of the history, present, and future of the Tulane School of Medicine.

The ideal candidate should be a visionary servant leader with the skill, knowledge, and temperament to navigate the modern healthcare landscape and negotiate the complexities of an academic medical institution in partnership with a large health system.

Continued evolution of the Department is anticipated to harmonize with the many expansion efforts planned for the School and its new health system partner, the Louisiana Children's Medical Center (LCMC) Health, a New Orleans-based, non-profit health system with eight facilities across Southeast Louisiana.

In the past year, the department has moved most of its clinical services to the newly remodeled 420-bed East Jefferson General Hospital (EJGH).

Tulane Department of Anesthesiology current faculty of 14 delivers anesthesiology and perioperative services at two LCMC facilities, EJGH and Lakeside Hospital, and expansion of services to other LCMC facilities will be anticipated in the future as the Department grows in size and scope first within these facilities.

The recent transition making East Jefferson General Hospital the primary affiliate hospital for Tulane School of Medicine has dramatically expanded the clinical substrate and patient base for training and clinical research, benefitting our faculty, residents, medical students, and patients.

The Department of Anesthesiology boasts a fully accredited anesthesiology residency program with a proven track record of success.  The program currently trains six residents per year and there is opportunity to consider expanding the training program to up to ten residents per year.
