Job Description

The Physicians of Forefront Dermatology have a need for a Mohs Surgeon to join their team in East Lansing, with a few days per month spent in Ann Arbor. This is a great opportunity to practice with experienced physicians and staff, all of whom are dedicated to providing the best dermatologic care to patients. This opportunity is available due to unmet demand in both the community and the practice.

After ensuring high quality care, finding a good “fit” is key to the team. The physician group places a high value on people with a positive attitude, a growth mindset, and a patient first approach to dermatology.

Our commitment to creating a culture of support and collaboration starts with our collegial approach. It is this collective knowledge and responsibility that helps drive Forefront forward.

Our group practice gathers for bi-annual retreats to meet with colleagues, share ideas, identify innovations, initiate practice policies and develop strategies for practice improvement and growth. Every two years, physicians vote for nominated candidates to serve on the physician board.

In addition, there are many opportunities for physicians not serving in leadership to chair key strategic and practice improvement initiatives.

Since our founding, our mission has been to provide dermatologists with an environment that allows them to focus entirely on patient care while retaining leadership of their practice. We emphasize physician leadership in the specialty, and benefit from the administrative expertise provided by our shared support services.
