The Chicago Institute of Advanced Surgery is seeking a surgeon with metabolic and bariatric fellowship training to join its multi specialty surgical practice. The practice is located in the heart of Chicago and consists of general surgeons with various fellowship training in bariatric, foregut, colon and rectal surgery, HPB, and other specialties. The practice is contracted with different community hospitals and healthcare systems across the greater Chicago area. We are a private practice group with all the advantages of independence.

The majority of our hospitals are covered by general surgery residents.

In 2023, the fellowship counsel granted us a fully accredited second fellowship spot. The senior surgeon, Dr. Rami Lutfi, is heavily involved in ASMBS, which will help the new surgeon to grow in the metabolic surgery society and provide mentorship, if desired or needed.
This exciting opportunity will allow the surgeon to step into a “ready-to-go” metabolic and bariatric surgery practice.
