Your role with us

As a Clinical Advisor/Associate supporting GYN Oncology, you will serve in a focused clinical support role for physicians and surgeons at Salem Health. The primary focus of this position is to support the GYN Oncology program through clinical monitoring, proctoring, and surgical assisting. As organizational needs arise, you may also be called upon to provide similar support to OB/GYN physicians and surgeons.

You will apply for and maintain privileges in the Clinical Advisor/Associate staff category rather than as an Active Medical Staff member. The role is not intended to provide independent or ongoing direct patient care or establish an independent clinical practice at Salem Health.

Clinical Advisor/Associates may participate in surgical cases for the purpose of monitoring and/or proctoring GYN Oncology physicians and surgeons and may provide surgical assistance during those cases when appropriate. Once a physician no longer requires monitoring or proctoring, the Clinical Advisor/Associate may continue to provide surgical assistance when requested and available, consistent with granted privileges. Similar support may be provided to OB/GYN physicians and surgeons as needed.
