Understanding the Role

Shape the Future of Obstetric Anesthesia in Augusta

As the Medical Director of Obstetric Anesthesia Services at Wellstar MCG Health, you will step into a leadership role that balances high-level clinical care with academic prestige. Every day, you will guide the anesthesia team on Labor & Delivery, ensuring safety and excellence for more than 2,500 births annually in a busy Level I Trauma Center. Your presence will shape how mothers experience childbirth and how trainees develop their skills, while also advancing the future of obstetric anesthesia in a nationally respected institution.

This position exists at the intersection of clinical practice, teaching, and leadership. You will be the face of OB Anesthesia for the department, with authority over protocols, education, and program development. In a setting where high-risk maternal cases are the norm, your expertise will directly influence outcomes while your leadership builds a stronger, smarter, and more resilient service line.

  • Lead the Labor & Delivery Anesthesia Service with authority over operations, quality, and education
  • Provide hands-on care for epidurals, C-sections (scheduled, urgent, and crash), and complex obstetric surgical cases
  • Serve as a mentor and educator to residents, CRNAs, CAAs, and medical students
  • Hold an academic appointment at the Associate Professor level or higher, reinforcing your voice in research, education, and policy
  • Enjoy a full-time schedule (7:00 AM – 5:00 PM) with shared call responsibilities supported by a robust team of anesthesiologists and anesthetists
  • Report directly into departmental leadership while collaborating closely with OB-GYN, MFM, and nursing leaders

This is not just another job—it’s an opportunity to define a program, elevate standards of care, and leave a lasting mark on both patients and the next generation of anesthesiologists.
