Physician Lead Gynecologist (San Rafael)

Overview

Marin Community Clinics, founded in 1972, is today, a multi-clinic network with a wide array of integrated primary care, dental, behavioral, specialty and referral services. As a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), we provide vital health services to almost 40,000 individuals annually in Marin County. The Clinics regularly receive national awards from the Health Resources and Services Administrations (HRSA). Our Mission is to promote health and wellness through excellent, compassionate care for all.

Reporting to the Medical Director of OB/GYN, the Lead Gynecologist Physician provides medical leadership of MCCs Gynecology and Reproductive Health services while also maintaining an obstetrical practice and providing consultation on High Risk Obstetrical services. Within MCC, the Physician Lead Gynecologist works in conjunction with MCCs Reproductive Health Providers and primary care providers to ensure that high quality OB/GYN services are delivered throughout the organization, including providing high risk case-management, mentoring advanced practice clinicians, reviewing and developing clinical protocols, overseeing the Family PACT program, and providing staff development activities.

Along with working collaboratively with the Lead Obstetrician Physician, OB Program Manager, CNM providers, and operations management at MCC, the Lead Gynecologist Physician will help staff High Risk Obstetrical clinic and may attend high risk OB case conferences.

This is a full time position, with three days of clinic (High Risk Obstetrics and Complex Gynecology), 4-8 hours of leadership administrative time, and approximately 6 hours per week of additional meetings or operating room time. Total FTE for this role may be reduced to a minimum of 0.75FTE in order to accommodate Labor and Delivery shifts at Marin Health Medical Center, if the provider elects to pursue this (see below).

The Lead Gynecologist Physician is expected to perform gynecologic surgery, so must maintain admitting privileges at MarinHealth Medical Center.

It is recommended, but not required, that the Lead Gynecologist Physician seek to contract separately with the Marin Health Hospitalist Group for Labor & Delivery on-call shifts at MarinHealth Medical Center, where MCC obstetrical patients deliver. This will allow them to continue an inpatient OB/GYN practice while working closely with the MarinHealth Medical Center OB/GYN department and leadership, WIC staff, OB/GYN Hospitalist providers to ensure good continuity of care between the outpatient and inpatient settings.
