Community and Family Medicine Faculty with Maternity Care Focus

Many UHP physicians have teaching responsibilities for residents, fellows, and medical students.  The UMKC SOM accepts students directly out of high school for a six-year combined baccalaureate/Doctor of Medicine program.  The UMKC SOM Graduate Medical Education program supports over 30 residencies and fellowships.

UH is known as “Kansas City’s Essential Hospital” and is the safety net healthcare system for Jackson County/Kansas City, MO.  UH is an academic medical center, serving as the primary teaching institution for the UMKC Schools of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, and Pharmacy.  A 547-bed, not-for-profit health system, UH delivers the highest-quality medical care for our patients, with compassion, empathy, and unparalleled dedication to service.  During the 2020 pandemic, UH has been recognized as a regional leader in COVID care and testing.

The Department of Community and Family Medicine at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine, University Health and University Health Physicians seek a full-time board-certified family physician with advanced surgical obstetric skills, including C.-sections, to join our academic program located in a rapidly growing area of Kansas City. 

Maternity Care & Women’s Health are vital components of Family Medicine, and a strong point of our residency program. The UMKC/UH Family Medicine Maternity Care Fellowship was instituted at University Health Lakewood Medical Center to provide interested residents with an option to continue their Maternity Care & Women’s Health training.  This faculty position provides an opportunity to become a member of a dynamic, expanding academic program and allows for faculty development. Academic appointment and salary commensurate with background.
