What is a virtual general surgeon?

A Virtual General Surgeon is a licensed medical professional who provides consultation, diagnosis, and pre- or post-operative care remotely using telemedicine technologies. While they do not perform surgeries online, they guide patients through surgical options, review test results, answer questions, and coordinate care with local healthcare providers. This role improves access to expert surgical opinions, especially for patients in remote or underserved areas, by leveraging secure video calls and digital communication. It is an increasingly popular model for expanding surgical care accessibility.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a virtual general surgeon?

To thrive as a Virtual General Surgeon, you need a medical degree, board certification in general surgery, and extensive experience in surgical procedures and decision-making. Familiarity with telemedicine platforms, electronic medical records (EMRs), and secure video conferencing tools is essential. Strong communication, problem-solving, and adaptability are critical soft skills for effectively evaluating patients remotely and collaborating with other healthcare professionals. These skills ensure accurate remote assessments, patient safety, and efficient coordination of care in a virtual setting.

How does a virtual general surgeon collaborate with on-site medical teams during remote consultations?

As a Virtual General Surgeon, you will frequently coordinate with on-site healthcare professionals such as nurses, primary care physicians, and surgical teams to assess patients, review diagnostic results, and develop treatment plans. Clear communication and efficient documentation are crucial, as you may provide recommendations for further testing, pre-operative preparation, or post-operative care that the local team implements. Utilizing secure telemedicine platforms, you will participate in multidisciplinary meetings and ensure seamless patient handoffs, all while maintaining high standards of patient safety and confidentiality.

About the area

With its medical center northwest of Los Angeles and its scope reaching as far north as Ventura, the Woodland Hills/Ventura County service area offers an impressive range of experiences. Great weather enables year-round surfing, hiking, golf, and other outdoor sports. And beyond our area are Los Angeles to the south and Santa Barbara to the north, for world-class dining, entertainment, and cultural activities.

Working here

The Woodland Hills/Ventura County area is geographically diverseโ€”reaching from the San Fernando Valley north of Los Angeles to Ventura County along the Pacific Ocean. Our area offers both the urban/suburban experience of the Woodland Hills Medical Center and the distinctly bi-cultural, small-town feel of the Ventura County medical office. Yet, at our core is one cultureโ€”characterized by the partnering and teamwork of our medical staff, the high level of physician engagement, and the focus on maintaining a highly evolved model of care. A family medicine residency program at the medical center adds an academic vibrancy. Strong emphasis is placed on wellness and interaction, with formal and informal events, potlucks, and other social activities. A robust on-boarding program ensures that new hires can quickly integrate, professionally and personally, forming lasting bonds and furthering the areaโ€™s collegial environment.

Qualifications Equal Employment Opportunity

External hires must pass a background check/drug screen. Qualified applicants with arrest and/or conviction records will be considered for employment in a manner consistent with Federal, state and local laws, including but not limited to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, protected veteran, or disability status.
