About the Role
The Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) seeks a dynamic leader to serve as the Medical Director of the UCSF Birth Center at UCSF Mission Bay. This position offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of obstetric care while educating the next generation of clinicians as faculty within our nationally acclaimed academic program.
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.
