The Department of Dermatology at Johns Hopkins Baview has a sudden opening for a Wound Fellow beginning July 1, 2009 at the Johns Hopkins Wound Center.
1. The Wound care program is an integral part of the Department of Dermatology of the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions. The Wound Center is directed by Dr. Gerald Lazarus Professor of Dermatology and Chair of Dermatology at Johns Hopkins Bayview. Co-Directors include Dr. Jonathan Zenilman Chief of Infectious Disease and Dr. Stephen Milner Director of the Johns Hopkins Burn Center. There are 2 Dermatology residents on rotation at Bayview at all times and they rotate through the wound center.
2. Responsibilities include:
a. Providing care for complex patients in a world renown wound center,
b. Studying the microbial flora of wounds using PCR, metagenomic analysis, Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), and biofilm quantification and correlating these data with clinical parameters
c. Facilitating cooperation with Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the national Naval Medical Center in Bethesda in the Combat Wound Initiative
d. Interacting with the collaboration with The Center for Biofilm Research at Montana State University in Bozeman
e. Acting as a co-investigator in sponsored studies evaluating the effectiveness of gene therapy with PDGF in diabetic wounds and the use of growth arrested human fibroblasts and keratinocytes in a fibrin gel for venous ulcers.
3. The Wound Fellow is a full participant in the teaching program in Dermatology and attends all major teaching conferences as a full Member of the Dermatology fellowship program.
4. Individuals with a strong background in internal medicine are preferred and experience with IRBs is considered a major plus.
5. The initial appointment is for 1 year with a 2 year commitment preferred
6. Although both wound fellows have gone on to residencies in Dermatology there is no guarantee of a future residency position in dermatology.
7. Please send CVs and letters of recommendation to: [email protected]
