Upon returning to Romania, he started working at the surgical and urological clinic led by Nicolae Hortolomei at , in Bucharest.[5] In 1937 Burghele became lecturer in the Department of Surgery at Colțea Hospital and in 1940 he was promoted to associate professor. In 1941 he was conscripted, and in 1942 he served as doctor in Tiraspol.[6] In 1946, when a urinary tract surgery clinic was set up at Panduri Hospital, he was appointed professor at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Bucharest, and took over the management of the clinic.[1][7]
In 1948, he joined the Romanian Communist Party (PCR).[6] From 1957 to 1972 he was rector of the Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy. In 1955 Burghele was elected corresponding member of the Romanian Academy; he became titular member in 1963 and served as President of the Academy from 1976 to 1977.
