Plastic Surgeon Opportunity
Shepherdstown, West Virginia | Community Practice Backed by a Major Academic Health System
The Best of Both Worlds: Build Your Practice with Autonomy and Academic Support
We are seeking a Board Certified/Board Eligible Plastic Surgeon to join an established and growing practice in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, part of WVU Medicine, a nationally recognized university health system. This opportunity offers a rare combination of private practice autonomy, academic affiliation, and comprehensive institutional support, allowing you to build the career you want while enjoying an exceptional quality of life.
Whether your passion lies in cosmetic surgery, reconstructive surgery, or a balanced mix of both, this position offers the clinical breadth, mentorship, and resources to develop a thriving practice without the typical barriers of private practice ownership.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
