Department Overview
The full-time annual base salary range for this position is $290,344-$311,288; Commensurate with experience, education & internal equity. Base pay does not include incentive pay, hiring bonuses, or additional benefits such as retirement contributions.
The Assistant Professor is a faculty member credentialed and privileged as an MD, with completion of an Ob/Gyn residency, and may have independent surgical experience necessary to provide a full-scope practice. As a member of the OHSU Professional Staff, the Assistant Professor practices in accordance with the relevant bylaws. The Assistant Professor is responsible for providing inpatient and outpatient clinical services as assigned by the supervisor, in support of the university's missions and goals of teaching, research, patient care, outreach, and public service. Compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, OHSU policies, and professional standards is required.
Function/Duties of Position
Clinical
  • The Generalist division provides both inpatient and outpatient care to high-risk patients at OHSU and relatively low-risk, community practice patients at Hillsboro Medical Center, an affiliated facility located 30 minutes west of OHSU, ensuring an ideal patient mix. While all faculty are required to maintain privileges at both sites, Generalists will primarily be assigned to one location.

Education
  • This position involves providing clinical education to residents and medical students during their Obstetrics and Gynecology rotations. The Assistant Professor may also assist with the clinical training of nurse and APP trainees. As part of a multidisciplinary team responsible for educating learners in the outpatient clinic environment, the Assistant Professor will provide both formal and informal feedback and evaluation to learners working in obstetrics and gynecology.

Administrative
  • As an OHSU faculty member, the Assistant Professor will participate in division and department faculty meetings and serve on OHSU committees as required. Additionally, involvement in other activities supporting the goals and objectives of the division, department, or OHSU may be requested by the department chair or division head.

Required Qualifications
  • MD Degree
  • Oregon Licensure
  • Completion of an Obstetrics and Gynecology residency
  • Potential for Academic accomplishment
  • Board certified or Board eligible in Obstetrics and Gynecology
