Description
Chief of Dermatology & Mohs Surgery
Carilion Clinic & Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine,
Roanoke, Virginia
This is a rare opportunity to step into a high-impact leadership role where you can shape the future of dermatology within a thriving academic health system—while advancing your own career as a physician leader, educator, and innovator.
As Chief of Dermatology & Mohs Surgery, you will lead a well-established, high-performing team of 14 physicians and APPs across a growing, multisite practice. You’ll have the platform, resources, and institutional support to expand programs, elevate clinical excellence, and influence the next generation of dermatologists.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Lead with Purpose and Visibility This role offers the chance to take the helm of a respected section within a physician-led, mission-driven health system. You’ll have a direct voice in shaping strategy, care delivery models, and program growth across a large regional footprint serving over 1 million patients.
Accelerate Your Academic Career With a faculty appointment through Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine, you’ll be deeply embedded in an academic environment that values teaching, mentorship, and scholarly achievement. Whether your passion is education, clinical innovation, or research, this role provides the infrastructure to elevate your academic profile.
Build and Innovate You’ll have the autonomy and support to grow clinical programs, expand Mohs and dermatologic oncology services, and develop new subspecialty initiatives. Collaboration with the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute and access to medical students with a longitudinal research requirement create meaningful opportunities to lead impactful research efforts.
Shape the Next Generation Play a central role in a highly successful dermatology residency program with a 100% board pass rate and a strong dermatopathology curriculum. Your leadership will directly influence training, mentorship, and program evolution.
Practice at a Flagship Academic Medical Center Work alongside a 763-bed Level 1 Trauma Center and Children’s Hospital, with access to advanced resources, multidisciplinary collaboration, and a broad, diverse case mix that supports both clinical excellence and academic growth.
What You Bring
- Board Certification in Dermatology
- 5 or more years of Academic leadership experience
- A track record of building teams, programs, and collaborative care models
- Passion for education, mentorship, and advancing academic dermatology
- Experience in graduate medical education
