Our population faces trauma and poverty with infectious diseases—including HIV, Hepatitis C, and complex wound infections. Through our integrated care teams, including physicians, advanced practice clinicians, nurse care managers, social workers, behavioral health therapists, peer counselors, dietitians, pharmacists, and community outreach workers, we transform the lives of our members. Working within our matrix organization, the Medical Director will collaborate closely with the National Directors of their respective disciplines to implement process improvements, enhance our standards of care, and surpass discipline-specific professional practice guidelines in our ambulatory intensive caring unit care model. As a dyad partner with the Practice Administrator, the Medical Director will be responsible for all medical center outcomes including utilization, quality outcomes, and the overall operation of the medical center and providers. This role requires dynamism, humility, clinical acumen, collaboration, and strong leadership skills.
