This role operates on an approximate 50/50 split between administrative and clinical responsibilities. The Medical Director will oversee the clinical, educational, and operational functions of the unit, coordinating high-risk, high-acuity care across Obstetrical Emergency, Labor & Delivery, Antepartum, and Postpartum units. Additionally, the successful candidate will ideally develop an outpatient practice within a UCSF prenatal care site.

The center also tied for the best hospital in California overall for adult care. This environment is ideal for candidates who aspire to influence program development, quality improvement, and hold administrative roles that shape the future of Obstetrics at UCSF.
