We
are seeking qualified candidates for a faculty
position in Hematology-Oncology with
special expertise in hemostasis-thrombosis.
The
Division of Hematology and Oncology consists of 31
physicians and 24 research faculty members that
perform clinical, teaching and research
activities. Due to an increase in patient volume and large referral base,
there is a need to add a second physician in the
Benign Hematology Multidisciplinary team with
expertise in hemostasis thrombosis. The
successful candidate must have interests in
teaching and research as well as a strong clinical
focus.
The
Division of Hematology and Oncology has active
clinical and basic research programs in benign and
malignant hematology and oncology, all closely
aligned with the research programs of the Cancer
Center. In
hemostasis-thrombosis, we participate in the CDC
thrombophilia program and have a comprehensive
hemophilia program.
The Division teaches at all levels of
medical education from medical student through
post graduate education.
Our fellowship program in Hematology
and Medical Oncology is designed
for those individuals desiring a career in
academic medicine and leads to board eligibility
in both hematology, and medical oncology. Clinical
services are performed at the state-of-the-art
Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Center. With more than
6,000 new patients annually and a budget of $200
million, conducting more than 400 cancer-specific
scientific investigation programs and clinical
trials, the Institute is among the nation’s
foremost cancer centers.
We also provide hematology consultation for
several hospitals in our immediate area including
Harper-Hutzel, Detroit Receiving and the
Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan.
The Wayne State University School of Medicine is the nation’s
largest single-campus medical school in the
country, with over 700 faculty, 1,000 medical
students and more than 400 graduate students. As the only medical school in Detroit, WSU
has a stated mission to improve the overall health
of the community and a large proportion of faculty
committed to urban medicine. As part of this
mission, the School has established, with the help
of a $6 million NIH grant, the Center for Urban
& African-American Health to seek new ways to
redress health disparities by identifying
preventive strategies and therapeutic approaches
to chronic diseases that plague this population,
many of which have implications for hemostasis-thrombosis
including obesity, cardiovascular disease and
cancer.
The candidate must be eligible for licensure to
practice medicine in the State of Michigan and
Board Certified in Hematology/Oncology. This
position offers a faculty appointment in the
School of Medicine and a tenured system
professorship will be available for the
appropriate candidate. The successful candidate
must have a strong belief and commitment to
clinical and academic excellence.
