The Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University invites applications for the position of Chair, Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences, and Chief Medical Officer (CMO) and Chief, OB/GYN, Temple Women's & Families Hospital. This is an outstanding opportunity for an accomplished, visionary leader to guide a dynamic academic department deeply committed to clinical excellence, education, research, and community engagement in one of the nation's most diverse urban centers.

For over a century, the Department of OB/GYN/RS has delivered high-quality, compassionate care to patients in the surrounding communities, with particular expertise in high-risk obstetrics and advanced gynecologic services. As a major academic and teaching institution, Temple's faculty and trainees are engaged in robust research and educational activities. Temple University Hospital supports a thriving residency program, serves as the core clinical site for medical students, and hosts a Gynecologic Oncology fellowship.

The new Chair/CMO will serve as the academic, clinical, and administrative leader of the Department, providing strategic and operational oversight across Temple University Hospital campuses, including the newly opened Temple Women and Families Hospital—the region's only hospital dedicated exclusively to women's health and family care. The Chair will collaborate closely with Temple Health leadership to advance the Department's mission, providing clear tactical direction to inspire excellence in clinical service, education, and scholarly activity while fostering a culture of collaboration, growth, innovation, and continuous improvement.

Key priorities for this role include expanding the Department's clinical footprint to enhance access to high-quality care for underserved populations, strengthening community engagement, and leading physician and faculty recruitment, development, and retention efforts. The Chair will also be responsible for cultivating new business and academic partnerships, promoting scholarly productivity, and advancing medical education programs. Additionally, the Chair will ensure that all departmental programs meet or exceed the quality and performance standards established by Temple University Health System.

As CMO, the incumbent will deliver high-quality, evidence-based clinical care through strong clinical judgment and individualized care planning. This role provides leadership in patient safety, quality improvement, regulatory compliance, capacity management, and interdisciplinary collaboration to ensure excellent patient outcomes. The CMO serves as the physician leader and spokesperson for the Women's Hospital, promoting service excellence, accountability, and continuous improvement across teams and systems.

Through visionary leadership, the intentional cultivation of a positive and inclusive departmental culture, and a steadfast commitment to Temple's mission of service, the Chair/CMO will guide the Department in delivering equitable, high-quality care and advancing the legacy of the University's founding President, Dr. Russell Conwell. The successful candidate will model integrity, inclusivity, and institutional stewardship while promoting a culture of respect, accountability, and community engagement.
