Reporting to the Medical Director of OB/GYN, the Lead Gynecologist Physician provides medical leadership of MCC’s 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 MCC’s 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 0.75

FTE in order to accommodate Labor and Delivery shifts at Marin Health Medical Center, if the provider elects to pursue this (see below).
