Assistenarzt / Assistant physician (m/w/d) in further education

The place is to be filled with a long-term perspective.

Our newly established Thorax Surgery Clinic (Director: Univ.-Prof. Dr. med. Joachim Schmidt) is in a dynamic construction and expansion phase. Together with thorax surgery at the Helios Klinikum Bonn/Rhein-Sieg we develop a supraregional thorax center. We are already reporting annually at both locations in Bonn >700 thoracic interventions with >220 anatomical resections. The two clinics run in HR and firm cooperation are the operative locations of the Regional Lung Cancer Center (DKG) in cooperation with the Helios Clinics and the Johanniter Kliniken in Bonn and Siegburg.

The special focus of clinical work is on minimally invasive, especially robotic, oncological thorax surgery. A variety of modern robot-assisted operating systems across both locations (DaVinci X, DaVinci Xi, Dexter, DaVinci SP in the procurement phase) as well as robot-assisted bronchoscopy- System ION is in thorax surgery. Together with our colleagues in child surgery, paediatric thorax surgery is a further focus as well as extended resections, e.g. under ECMO support.

In addition to expanding clinical development, there are also scientific possibilities for development. Our research and innovation platform BOSTER (Bonn Surgical Technology Center) with focus on robotics, XR/VR simulation and AI-assisted surgery is the central anchor of our scientific work. In the coming years, dedicated and innovative colleagues will be backed up by development and scientific funding.

We are therefore looking for a special talent that makes our dynamic and experienced team even better.
