We are looking for a highly skilled and detail-oriented Mohs Surgeon to join our dermatologic surgery team. The ideal candidate will be board-certified in dermatology with fellowship training in Mohs micrographic surgery. This role involves diagnosing and treating skin cancers, particularly basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, using the Mohs technique, which allows for the highest cure rates while preserving healthy tissue.
The Mohs Surgeon will work closely with dermatologists, pathologists, and reconstructive surgeons to ensure optimal patient outcomes. Responsibilities include performing Mohs procedures, interpreting pathology slides, and conducting necessary follow-up care. The surgeon must also be adept at patient communication, explaining procedures, risks, and post-operative care in a compassionate and clear manner.
In addition to clinical duties, the Mohs Surgeon may be involved in teaching residents or fellows, participating in clinical research, and contributing to quality improvement initiatives within the practice. The position requires a commitment to excellence in patient care, continuous learning, and collaboration within a multidisciplinary team.
This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated and experienced Mohs Surgeon to join a reputable practice or academic institution, offering competitive compensation, state-of-the-art facilities, and a supportive work environment.
