Assistant Chief Medical Officer (ACMO)

A Rare Leadership Opportunity with a Clear Path to Chief Medical Officer

Are you a physician leader ready to take the next step in your career? This is more than an Assistant Chief Medical Officer position–it’s a succession planning opportunity designed for a physician who wants to grow into a CMO role.

A well-established, mission-driven community health organization in the Pittsburgh area is seeking an experienced physician leader to partner with its current executive leadership, gain hands-on operational experience, and ultimately transition into the organization’s Chief Medical Officer position.

If you’ve been looking for an opportunity to shape the future of a healthcare organization while continuing to care for patients, this is your chance.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Balanced schedule with clinical practice and administrative days 
• Oversee and mentor a team of 7+ providers
• Join an organization where physician leadership has a direct impact on quality, access, patient experience, and strategic growth
• Play a key role in shaping clinical operations, provider engagement, and future organizational initiatives

Outstanding Benefits

The organization offers one of the strongest benefits packages in the region, including:

• 100% employer-paid medical, dental, life, short-term disability, and long-term disability insurance for employees
• 4% employer 401(k) match
• Four weeks of PTO during your first two years
• Twelve paid holidays
• Two weeks of paid parental leave
• Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) options

Position Highlights

As the Assistant Chief Medical Officer, you’ll serve as a key member of the executive leadership team while maintaining an active clinical practice. You’ll work closely with senior leadership to:

• Lead and mentor physicians and advanced practice providers
• Drive quality improvement and patient safety initiatives
• Improve clinical operations, workflows, and provider productivity
• Participate in strategic planning and organizational decision-making
• Recruit, develop, and retain clinical talent
• Ensure regulatory compliance and clinical excellence
• Foster collaboration across clinical and administrative teams
• Continue providing compassionate primary care to patients across the lifespan

Ideal Candidate

We’re seeking a physician who combines strong clinical skills with a passion for leadership and building high-performing teams.

Qualifications include:

• Board Certified or Board Eligible in Family Medicine or Internal Medicine
• Active or eligible Pennsylvania medical license
• Minimum of five years of physician leadership or management experience preferred
• Experience supervising physicians and/or advanced practice providers
• Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) experience strongly preferred
• Passion for serving diverse patient populations and improving access to high-quality care

Build More Than a Career–Build a Legacy

This is an exceptional opportunity for a physician who wants to influence the future of healthcare delivery while preparing for executive leadership. If you’ve been waiting for the right opportunity to transition into a Chief Medical Officer role with mentorship, support, and a defined succession plan, we’d love to speak with you.
