This is a hybrid clinical/quality role. The Associate Medical Director of Quality will work collaboratively with the Medical Directors of the Pediatric Emergency Departments and Director of Community Initiatives with a focus on managing quality performance and improvement activities across the three NCPS-staffed community emergency departments. This position supports administrative call and serves as one of the primary points of contact for clinician concerns, as well as reviews end-of-shift nurse reports to address patient/clinician care delivery issues. They will also partner with hospital administration and medical leadership to lead and oversee various clinical, quality, patient experience and medical administrative priorities within their designated program.

Pediatric emergency physicians employed by NCPS provide coverage at Baptist Hospital’s Pediatric Emergency Departments and the Mastroianni Family Jupiter Pediatric Emergency Department at Jupiter Medical Center with a shared focus of putting children and families first. There is a well-coordinated and robust transfer process between the four hospitals to support admissions and subspecialty care needs. Nicklaus Children's Hospital is a 307-bed freestanding children's hospital with an ACS-verified Level 1 pediatric trauma center.

This position will require that the Associated Director of Quality work between all three community emergency departments, although they can be primarily based out of one of the locations.
