We are an American College of Surgeons designated cancer center. The physical plant is beautiful, with modern operating rooms planned for an expansion.

The volume and complexity of pathology for which the VA is well-known make this a stimulating place to work. Our service runs two operating rooms with a full schedule four days a week. The surgical ICU is fully staffed during the day by two full-time experienced intensivists and at night by in-house intensivits or the on-call chief resident. Physician support in our Section is excellent.

The residents originate from both University Hospitals Case Medical Center and the Cleveland Clinic. Podiatry interns, medical students from Case Western Reserve School of Medicine and NP students rotate on the surgical service. We place a strong emphasis on teaching in our Section and we administrate a large VA-issued grant establishing the first Patient-Centered Multidisciplinary Cancer Care Education clinic within the VA. Support for research at the Cleveland VA Medical Center is outstanding, and there are a number of large well-funded research programs at the medical center including projects in: biomedical research, health services research and clinical studies.
