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.

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.
This is more than a leadership role—it is an opportunity to build, expand, and define the future of pediatric urology across Appalachia and beyond.
