Partnering for Healthcare Excellence

Physicians and hospitals must collaborate in today’s complex healthcare environment to achieve excellence in clinical quality, patient safety, and service quality. We can achieve this kind of partnership by collaborating with local and regional doctors and facilities to ensure high-quality patient care for our patients.

Never Stop Learning

We offer exciting opportunities for research and academic achievement. Our faculty leads research projects with our fellows and residents, and several of these projects have resulted in publications in major journals. 

Our faculty and learners benefit from a deidentified patient database from our Electronic Medical Records. This resource significantly enhances our ability to conduct impactful research. Furthermore, we have partnered with Oracle Health, which has implemented EMR systems across over 800 hospitals and provides vital statistical analysis and grant-writing support.

We are also proud of establishing multiple clinics across our hospital campuses, catering to a diverse patient population. This initiative enriches our research database and enhances our clinical collaborations.

Preferred candidates 

We are looking to expand our services with adding a second Gynecologic Oncologist to our team.  Candidates must have a strong commitment to teach medical students and residents and be ABOG certified or eligible in gynecologic oncology.  The candidate should be able to provide care to patients with complex surgical pathology and be a resource for department and community gynecologic surgeons.  Strong interpersonal skills and interest in clinical research are essential.
