Associate Medical Director

Alpha Medical is seeking an Associate Medical Director with a passion for patient advocacy and improving the way people access healthcare today. The Associate Medical Director will work collaboratively under the supervision of the Medical Director and have a strong focus on the operations for our clinical and provider Team. 

 

As an Associate Medical Director, you will be part of a small but mighty provider and clinical team that’s focused on identifying departmental needs and implementing scalable processes. You will get experience working with stakeholders from various departments, aligning clinical operational roadmaps to Alpha’s strategic growth, assisting with training and development programs, reviewing and suggesting policy updates, performance and provider reviews, and other tasks as assigned.

 

We are mission-driven - We’re changing the paradigm of healthcare for patients who are historically underrepresented due to sex, race, gender, language, economic status, location, disability, and other diverse backgrounds.  We empower our Primary Care Providers with a foundation in women’s health to administer patient-centered care throughout a woman’s lifespan.

 

We put patients first - We prioritize what’s best for our patients, not what’s easier or more profitable. We do whatever it takes to provide excellent care and empower patients to take control of their health.

 

One team, One Dream - We work together as a team to bring to life our vision of a more just healthcare system. We trust each other, communicate openly and honestly. We give credit where it is due, provide opportunities for employee growth and development, assume good intentions, and celebrate our wins as a team.

 

Diversity is at our core - Alpha exists to bring a more accessible, equitable system to care for the whole woman regardless of age, income, and location. We are inclusive, welcoming, and value different perspectives.

 

We are data-driven - Alphanauts love data and value facts over opinions. We use evidence-based science to highlight the clinical value of our mission.

 

We are proactive and positive - Alphanauts learn by doing and address challenges without waiting or worrying about their scope. We are pragmatic and value progress over perfection. We are optimistic and believe in the power of positivity.
