Candidates must be board-certified by the American Board of Surgery or the American Board of Plastic Surgery and must be Fellows in good standing of the American College of Surgeons. Applicants should also have documented experience working in an American Burn Association (ABA)-verified burn center and/or demonstrate leadership experience within a burn care system.

Involvement in regional disaster planning and mass casualty preparedness is also expected, reflecting the Burn Center's critical role in the city's emergency response infrastructure.

In collaboration with the Burn Program Manager, the Burn Medical Director will lead efforts to maintain the Burn Center's ABA verification status.
