What is a foregut surgeon?

A Foregut Surgeon is a specialized surgeon who focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract, including the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. They commonly perform procedures to manage conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), achalasia, hiatal hernias, and upper GI cancers. These surgeons may use minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopy or robotic surgery for improved patient outcomes. Their goal is to restore normal digestive function and relieve symptoms for patients with complex foregut disorders.

What are the typical daily responsibilities of a foregut surgeon?

A Foregut Surgeon’s daily responsibilities usually include evaluating patients with upper gastrointestinal conditions, performing consultations, and conducting both elective and emergency surgeries such as anti-reflux procedures or esophagectomies. The role involves interpreting diagnostic tests, developing comprehensive treatment plans, and participating in multidisciplinary case conferences. Foregut Surgeons frequently collaborate with gastroenterologists, radiologists, oncologists, and dietitians to ensure integrated patient care. Additionally, they often oversee post-operative management and follow-ups to monitor recovery and address complications. This dynamic and hands-on position offers professional variety and the ability to make a significant difference in patients’ lives.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a foregut surgeon, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Foregut Surgeon, you need advanced surgical expertise in the upper gastrointestinal tract, specialized medical training, board certification in general surgery, and often fellowship training in foregut or minimally invasive surgery. Experience with laparoscopic and robotic surgery systems, endoscopic equipment, and proficiency in electronic medical records are essential. Outstanding manual dexterity, strong decision-making, and excellent communication and empathy are key soft skills that enhance patient care and collaboration with multidisciplinary teams. These skills and qualities are vital to deliver safe, successful outcomes in complex procedures and maintain high standards of patient support throughout the surgical process.

Job description

Job ID: 52400

Location: Chicago, Illinois

Clinical Assistant, Associate, or Professor of Surgery – Esophageal and Foregut Surgery (Excludes Bariatric Surgery)

The Division of GI Surgery at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine seeks a full-time non‑tenure track faculty member at the rank of Clinical Assistant, Associate, or Professor. We are specifically seeking an established surgeon with recognized expertise in esophageal and foregut surgery to join and further advance a high‑volume, academically driven clinical program that is focused exclusively on esophageal and foregut disease and does not include bariatric surgery.

The ideal candidate will lead a robust clinical practice focused on the management of complex foregut and esophageal disorders, providing comprehensive pre‑operative and post‑operative care in close collaboration with a multidisciplinary team. Clinical responsibilities include both inpatient and outpatient care, as well as the performance of advanced surgical and endoscopic procedures. These include, but are not limited to, peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM), advanced surgical endoscopy, and minimally invasive techniques for the treatment of esophageal and upper gastrointestinal disease.

This role offers the opportunity to play a meaningful leadership role in the continued growth, innovation, and strategic development of the foregut and esophageal surgery program. The ideal candidate will demonstrate a strong record of clinical excellence, program building, and collaborative practice, with a commitment to advancing high‑quality, patient‑centered care within an academic medical center.

Additional responsibilities include participation in daily consultations, management of referral‑based care, shared call coverage, and active involvement in inpatient rounding and perioperative care. The faculty member will also contribute to the educational mission of the Feinberg School of Medicine through the teaching, training, and mentorship of General Surgery residents across clinical and educational settings.

The start date is negotiable and the position will remain open until filled.

The expected base pay range for this position is $365,000 – $410,000.
