SCREENING QUESTIONS (must include answers on resumes) :

2. What role have you played in supporting medical staff committees and ED call schedules?

We 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 credentialing systems like ECHO or Cactus. 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. While credentialing systems knowledge is helpful, 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 bureaucracy

The 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.
