School of Medicine (SOM) Department of Surgery, Division of Surgical Oncology
is seeking a full-time academic breast surgeon to join our Breast Surgery
Program. This position is being

The UNM Division of Surgical Oncology
currently consists of fellowship-trained surgical oncologists, breast surgeons,

full spectrum of malignancies. Additionally, our division includes plastic
surgeons dedicated to breast reconstruction. Surgeons in our group are actively engaged in
cancer clinical trials and undergraduate as well as graduate medical education,
including fellows in Complex General Surgical Oncology. The UNM Department of Surgery boasts a robust

population and is a consultative resource for the State of New Mexico and the
Four Corners region of the Southwest. Outpatient oncology services are provided

only National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated Cancer Center in a 500-mile
radius. UNMCCC is one of only 57 cancer
centers in the nation to be designated by the NCI as a comprehensive cancer
center, the highest federal designation and rating for cancer centers. The 134 oncology physicians, 122 cancer
research scientists, and staff are particularly focused on discovering the
causes and the cures for cancers that disproportionately affect the people of
the American Southwest - primarily Hispanic, American Indian, and Non-Hispanic
White - with strikingly different patterns of cancer incidence, mortality and
disparity.

educations, research, patient care and community outreach - to provide New
Mexicans with the highest level of health care.
