Additional Job Description Chief of Pediatric Urology A Leadership Opportunity to Build, Transform, and Define the Future of Pediatric Urologic Care /A System Built for the Future of Pediatric Urology Across the United States, the future of pediatric urologic care will be defined by leaders who can integrate clinical excellence, academic innovation, and meaningful access to care. WVU Medicine is uniquely positioned to lead that future-and we are seeking a visionary physician to serve as our next Chief of Pediatric Urology. This role is designed for a physician leader who is driven not only by clinical excellence, but by the opportunity to build a program that advances access, elevates outcomes, and delivers meaningful impact for children and families across a multi-state region. As Chief, you will lead the strategic development and clinical integration of Pediatric Urology services across the WVU Medicine network. You will partner closely with institutional leadership to expand subspecialty capabilities, optimize care delivery models, and further integrate pediatric urologic services within a multidisciplinary framework. This includes alignment with pediatric surgery, nephrology, oncology, and broader women's and children's services-ensuring comprehensive, coordinated care for complex conditions. This is a role for a builder and a leader-someone who thrives in an environment where growth, innovation, and collaboration are not just encouraged, but expected. You will play a central role in recruiting and mentoring faculty, expanding the clinical footprint, and supporting the development of APP teams to enhance access and continuity of care. With strong institutional support and a clear vision for growth, the Chief will help define what pediatric urologic care looks like for the future of WVU Medicine. As the state's largest health system and the academic medical enterprise of West Virginia University, WVU Medicine has built a platform designed not only to deliver exceptional care today, but to transform how pediatric subspecialty care is delivered across an entire region.

During his time at Cleveland Clinic, he also contributed to the renal cell carcinoma medical genetics program, treating thousands of patients with complex genitourinary malignancies.
