Better Health for All

Santa Clara Valley Healthcare (SCVH), a large public teaching healthcare system, affiliated with Stanford University School of Medicine, is seeking to hire full-time BC/BE orthopedic trauma fellowship-trained surgeons and a BC/BE orthopedic oncology fellowship-trained surgeon at SCVH.

Santa Clara Valley Healthcare (SCVH) is the second-largest County-owned health and hospital system in California and is committed to improving the health of the 1.9 million people of Santa Clara County. SCVH is comprised of four hospitals:
Santa Clara Valley Medical Center (SCVMC - a 731-bed Level 1 trauma center), O’Connor Hospital (OCH - 358 licensed beds), Saint Louise Regional Hospital (SLRH – 93 licensed beds) and Regional Medical Center (RMC – a 258-bed Level 2 trauma center). In addition, SCVH includes a network of primary care clinics comprised of eleven health centers throughout the County, several urgent care clinics, dental services, primary care behavioral health services, and a broad range of specialty services in our Valley Specialty Center.

SCVMC hosts four residency programs and one fellowship training program, and partners with Stanford University SOM and Stanford Healthcare for the clinical training of medical students, residents, and fellows. SCVMC is an ACS-verified Level 1 Trauma Center, a Level 2 Pediatric Trauma Center, an ABA-verified Burn Center, a Primary Stroke Center, a Level 4 NICU, and a nationally recognized CARF-accredited Rehabilitation Center.

Owing to its geographic location and specialty offerings, SCVMC not only serves the County, but also the larger region.

Regional Medical Center, the newest addition to the Health Care system, is a level 2 trauma center, STEMI receiving center and Thrombectomy capable Stroke Center. In addition to the busy inpatient services there is an outpatient clinic and surgery center located on the campus to facilitate an efficient elective practice for interested candidates.

Providers in our health system also have the opportunity to use our integrated electronic health record (Epic), which brings together systemwide patient information. The Health Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS) recognized SCVMC for achieving its highest level of success (Stage
7), based on our continuous innovation and optimization of our inpatient and outpatient EHR.

SCVH is in San Jose, California, in the heart of Silicon Valley, offering a diverse array of cultural, recreational, and lifestyle opportunities. Our physicians live in a range of communities, including urban (e.g., San Francisco), university (e.g., Palo Alto), high tech (e.g., many cities of Silicon Valley), mountain (e.g., Los Gatos), beach (e.g. Santa Cruz), and rural/agricultural (e.g., Morgan Hill and Gilroy).

Situated in one of the most desirable regions of the country – only 45 minutes from the Monterey Bay and three hours from the Sierra Nevada – our physicians enjoy a very high quality of life.

The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center (SCVMC) presently provides direct care to the patients of Santa Clara County at the SCVMC ACS certified Level-1 trauma center, O’Connor Hospital and the Valley Specialty Center. The Department also facilitates the coordination of fracture care within the greater Santa Clara Valley Healthcare system.

Successful candidates will join a team of four fellowship-trained orthopedic trauma surgeons and be instrumental in growing and strengthening the fracture care system for SCVH patients.
