The Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center is a 673-bed tertiary healthcare facility which provides a full range of patient care services with state-of-the-art technology to over 100,000 veterans in Northern Ohio. Our main campus is in Cleveland, OH, and we are a longstanding teaching affiliate of Case Western Reserve University. A wide range of complex and basic surgical procedures are performed at our center including cardiac and thoracic surgery, complex joint replacement and major cancer resections of the colon/rectum, breast, stomach, liver and pancreas. We are an American College of Surgeons designated cancer center. The physical plant is beautiful, with modern operating rooms planned for an expansion. In addition, construction of an Ambulatory Surgery Center has been approved with three additional operating rooms. 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. In addition to the physician staff, the General Surgery Section is comprised of a nurse-scheduler, administrative assistant and 3 physician extenders (NP-PA). An additional physician extender is approved and will be hired shortly. The General Surgery service is always staffed with a full team of residents - including a chief resident, junior resident and intern. 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. We are a participant in the VA Cooperative Studies program and have access to VASQIP outcomes databases. We have a close partnership with researchers at the Case Western Reserve School of Medicine, which is nearly walking distance from the medical center. The Cleveland VA is one of only 8 sites for the VA Quality Scholars Program which develops expertise in the measurement of quality, the implementation of quality improvement and the performance of quality improvement research.

Opportunity for faculty appointment and professorship at Case West Reserve University commensurate with academic credentials is available. Most physician staff on the Surgical Service and all physician staff in the Section of General Surgery have such an appointment.
