Northwestern Medicine's Lung Transplant Program is recognized for clinical innovations in lung transplantation and advanced lung disease management. The Medical Director role represents a unique opportunity for an exceptional leader to drive innovative treatments, transform patient care, and shape the future of lung transplantation on a global scale.
The Lung Transplant Program is a centerpiece for the Canning Thoracic Institute, whose mission is to provide exceptional care to patients with lung disease in the Chicago region and internationally through our growing 13-hospital academic health system.

The Director will work within the rich intellectual environment within the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine in the Feinberg School of Medicine, which includes a substantial portfolio of federally funded research that aims to improve care for lung transplant recipients. Research in lung transplantation is further supported by the Simpson Querrey Lung Institute for Translational Sciences, which brings together researchers across Northwestern University seeking to develop cures for patients with lung disease. The Medical Director will lead a team deeply committed to improving patient outcomes, extending lives, and bringing new hope to those suffering from complex lung conditions.
