A Leadership Opportunity to Build, Transform, and Define the Future of Pediatric Urologic Care
/A System Built for the Future of Pediatric Urology
Across the United States, the future of pediatric urologic care will be defined by leaders who can integrate clinical excellence, academic innovation, and meaningful access to care. WVU Medicine is uniquely positioned to lead that future—and we are seeking a visionary physician to serve as our next Chief of Pediatric Urology. This role is designed for a physician leader who is driven not only by clinical excellence, but by the opportunity to build a program that advances access, elevates outcomes, and delivers meaningful impact for children and families across a multi-state region.
As Chief, you will lead the strategic development and clinical integration of Pediatric Urology services across the WVU Medicine network.

This is a role for a builder and a leader—someone who thrives in an environment where growth, innovation, and collaboration are not just encouraged, but expected. You will play a central role in recruiting and mentoring faculty, expanding the clinical footprint, and supporting the development of APP teams to enhance access and continuity of care.

/Meet the Chair
Over the past year, Steven Campbell, MD, PhD, has brought transformational leadership to WVU Medicine’s Department of Urology. Since joining the institution, he has significantly strengthened and expanded subspecialty divisions, while more than doubling the Advanced Practice Provider (APP) workforce—enhancing access, supporting physician teams, and advancing the system’s ability to deliver high-quality, specialized urologic care across the region.
Prior to WVU Medicine, Dr. Campbell built a distinguished career at the Cleveland Clinic, where he served as a board-certified urologist, Vice Chair of Urology, Residency Program Director, and Professor of Surgery. Over a 20-year tenure, he led the largest urology residency training program in the United States and played a central role in the Urologic Oncology Fellowship Program.
Dr. Campbell’s clinical and academic interests focus on renal cell carcinoma, bladder cancer, prostate cancer, and surgical education. He is a nationally recognized expert in the field, having authored more than 400 peer-reviewed publications and serving as lead author of the American Urological Association Guidelines for the Management of Kidney Cancer. During his time at Cleveland Clinic, he also contributed to the renal cell carcinoma medical genetics program, treating thousands of patients with complex genitourinary malignancies.
Earlier in his career, Dr. Campbell held leadership roles across several leading institutions, including co-director of Urologic Oncology at Loyola University Medical Center, Chief of Urology at the Hines Veterans Affairs Hospital in Maywood, Illinois, and co-director of the Division of Urological Oncology at Northwestern University.
He completed his urology residency at Cleveland Clinic, followed by a fellowship in Urologic Oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Dr. Campbell earned his MD, PhD in biochemistry and molecular biology, and undergraduate degree from the University of Chicago.
/A Leadership Role with System-Wide Impact
Under the leadership of Dr. Steven Campbell, MD, PhD, Chair of Urology, WVU Medicine is advancing a unified academic vision that bridges tertiary care, community integration, and subspecialty growth.
The Chief of Pediatric Urology will serve as the clinical, academic, and strategic leader for pediatric urologic services across the health system—anchored by J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital and the WVU Medicine Golisano Children’s Hospital.
This leader will have the opportunity to:
Build and expand a premier pediatric urology program
Define clinical strategy and programmatic growth
Recruit, mentor, and develop faculty and trainees
Advance surgical innovation, outcomes research, and education
Strengthen integration between pediatric and adult urology services
/Where Leadership Meets Purpose
At WVU Medicine, leadership extends far beyond departmental oversight. The Chief of Pediatric Urology will influence how care is delivered across an entire region where access to pediatric subspecialty care is often limited.
In Appalachia, the work you lead will:
Reduce barriers to care for children and families
Improve lifelong health trajectories
Strengthen clinical pathways across a multi-state system
Advance health equity in underserved populations
/Living and Thriving Across the WVU Medicine Footprint
Where Purpose, Practice, and Lifestyle Converge
A career with the WVU Medicine—the state’s largest health system and largest private employer—offers more than a professional opportunity; it provides a platform to practice at scale while living in a region defined by access, affordability, and quality of life.
As the academic health system of West Virginia University, WVU Medicine continues to expand its clinical reach and subspecialty depth across key service lines including urology, cancer, heart and vascular, neuroscience, and women’s health. The system is home to West Virginia’s only multi-organ transplant center and a state-of-the-art, 150-bed Children’s Hospital—reflecting a sustained commitment to advancing complex, high-acuity care close to home.
Today, WVU Medicine encompasses more than 3,400 licensed beds, 4,600 providers, and nearly 35,000 employees across a growing network of hospitals and care sites spanning West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, and Virginia. Anchored by an 880-bed academic medical center in Morgantown, the system is uniquely positioned to deliver both academic innovation and community-based care at scale.
At J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital—the system’s flagship academic campus—physicians benefit from a robust clinical infrastructure designed to support advanced surgical care and multidisciplinary collaboration. This includes more than 40 operating rooms, a comprehensive robotic surgery program (8 Xi, 1 SP, and 1 DV5 platforms), extensive ancillary services, and direct integration with the WVU Cancer Institute.
Beyond the clinical environment, the WVU Medicine footprint offers a lifestyle that is increasingly rare in modern medicine: the ability to practice at a high level while enjoying a meaningful quality of life. Morgantown and the surrounding region provide access to top-ranked schools, vibrant university culture, and a growing food and arts scene—all set against the natural backdrop of the Appalachian Mountains.
Across the broader region, physicians and their families experience a diverse range of communities—from energetic college towns to quiet, scenic landscapes—offering flexibility in how and where you choose to live. Outdoor recreation is woven into everyday life, with opportunities for hiking, boating, skiing, and exploration just minutes from home.
At WVU Medicine, the value proposition extends beyond compensation. It is about practicing within a system that is investing in its future—while enabling you to build a life that is equally fulfilling outside of medicine.
Here, your impact reaches further. And your life feels fuller.
