Experience working as a Medical Staff CoordinatorRequirements:
Experience at a community hospital's medical staff office
Has managed committee logistics and ED call scheduling
Is used to physician interaction and multi-tasking in a small team
Has done data entry/backlog catch-up in credentialing systems (even if not leading credentialing)
ECHO experienceDe-Prioritize:
Candidates whose experience is mostly with CVOs, health plans, or academic health systems
People who primarily did centralized credentialing audits or regulatory research
Those with little to no hands-on hospital staff office experienceWe are looking for candidates with direct experience working in a community hospital medical staff office. The ideal candidate has handled committee meeting management (scheduling, agendas, minutes), ED call scheduling, physician walk-ins and inquiries, and backlog data entry into ECHO . It's critical to note that we are not looking for candidates whose experience leans heavily toward centralized credentialing (CVOs), payer enrollment, or compliance audits. This role is operational and hospital-based-not credentialing-focused. Please prioritize candidates who have worked in community hospitals, supporting medical staff services and direct physician-facing tasks.Despite the job description emphasizing credentialing, compliance, and systems like Cactus/ECHO, the hiring manager is prioritizing practical experience in a community hospital setting over more academic or centralized CVO experience.Specifically, they want someone who:Has worked directly in a community hospital's medical staff office
Is hands-on with physician support, committee coordination, and ED call schedules
Can manage on-the-ground logistics like walk-ins, phone requests, and data entry backlog
Is familiar with hospital-based governance and committee processes (not just centralized credentialing)
Understands how medical staff operations function outside of academic bureaucracyThe day-to-day at St. Mary's/Saint Francis is less about formal credentialing and more about operational medical staff office support. UCSF may manage credentialing centrally, but these hospitals still need someone to run point on the front lines.
