We are seeking a clinician who can work well with nursing staff, handle supplies and logistics, is excited about providing great care to women, understands the business side of managing facilities, and is committed to quality control and creative thinking about protocols, emergency referrals, etc.
Our preference is for an experienced clinician or specialist who also has management experience, but we will also consider experienced midwifes or non-clinicians with the right set of clinical and leadership experience.
