Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon

Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, NH seeks a board-eligible or board-certified Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon to join our Section of Otolaryngology and Maxillofacial Surgery.  Our ideal candidate will work in a hospital-based, tertiary care facility and have a strong interest/expertise in expanding our busy orthognathic surgery practice, as well as help manage facial trauma, dentoalveolar surgery, and benign maxillofacial pathology caseload. 

Our current OMF surgeons within the ENT department are excited to expand our growing section and will provide support to help develop your practice and provide mentorship, if needed. 

Opportunities to expand to other areas of interest, including being involved in the craniofacial clinic are available.  There may also be involvement in an outreach clinic in the southern part of New Hampshire.  This is a full-time position, but part-time opportunities may also be considered.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a highly collegial environment which includes an academic appointment with the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth. There are both research and teaching opportunities at Dartmouth College and with ENT and plastic surgery residents and medical students.

Dartmouth Health offers an outstanding benefits package including, but not limited to:
