UMass Memorial Medical Group seeks OB Triage Team Lead to serve within our Labor & Delivery program. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Nurse Practitioner, Physician Assistant or Midwife to combine direct patient care with meaningful clinical and team leadership in a busy, high-acuity OB triage environment. Our competitive compensation and benefits package places us as your top choice in the region. While OB Triage is technically an outpatient service, it functions much like an inpatient acute-care setting. APPs evaluate patients presenting with obstetric concerns, determine appropriate treatment and disposition, and coordinate admissions when indicated.

The OB Triage Team Lead will provide clinical leadership and direct supervision for a team of approximately 5–8 APPs, while continuing to provide hands‑on patient care. This individual will play an integral role in coordinating daily operations, developing schedules, supporting team members, and partnering with physicians, residents, nursing, MFM, and Labor & Delivery leadership to ensure high‑quality, efficient patient care.

OB Triage offers an exceptional environment for an APP who enjoys clinical complexity, collaboration, and leadership. The team benefits from strong support from both the OB resident and attending physician teams, creating an environment that promotes learning, collaboration, and professional growth. With strong collaboration from resident and attending teams and an environment that supports ongoing learning, this is an outstanding opportunity for an experienced APP looking to make a greater impact through clinical leadership, mentorship, and patient‑centered care.
