Located in Northern California's Central Valley, nestled between Sacramento and the SF Bay Area, St. Joseph’s Medical Center is a member of Dignity Health, the fifth largest healthcare system in the country and the largest hospital provider in California. Dignity Health St. Joseph’s Medical Center is seeking a Founding Program Director to develop a Urology Residency Program planned to start in 2020-2021. The intent will be to have five or six residents per year for a total of 10 residents as part of a urology program in Stockton, CA. This follows on the heels of three successful residency programs that have already started in Family Medicine, Emergency Medicine, Internal Medicine, and two additional programs with pending accreditation in OB/GYN and Transitional Year.
This is a rare opportunity to build a program that will fill a vital need and have significant impact on the quality of care delivery and health outcomes of this population. Through the establishment of this residency program at St. Joseph’s Medical Center, the estimated growth of urology cases is expected to increase substantially due to the catchment area and not losing cases to large metropolitan communities. Additionally, the Program Director will have an appointment with Touro University California and/or potentially UCSF.
Serving the community since 1899, St. Joseph's Medical Center is a regional destination for specialized care. As a not-for-profit, regional hospital with 355 beds, a physician staff of over 400, and more than 2,400 employees, St. Joseph’s is fully accredited by The Joint Commission and is consistently chosen as the “most preferred hospital” by local consumers.
The successful candidate will be a confident, visionary leader with the maturity, integrity, knowledge, and cultural sensitivity to inspire, develop, and recruit strong faculty and residents and advance collaborative relationships with community partners.
