Do you thrive on organization, love solving problems, and want to play a key role in shaping the future of healthcare? We’re looking for a Residency Program Coordinator—a detail-oriented, resourceful professional who can juggle calendars, accreditation policies, and people with equal skill. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys working independently, but also values being part of a collaborative, mission-driven team.

As the behind-the-scenes powerhouse of our residency and fellowship programs, you’ll be the go-to person for residents, faculty, and leadership. From managing day-to-day operations to supporting long-range planning, recruitment, and program compliance, you’ll make sure everything runs smoothly so trainees and physicians can focus on what matters most—patient care and education.

What You’ll Do

• Partner with the Program Director and leadership team to keep program operations, workflow, and budgets on track.

• Apply ACGME and hospital policies to ensure compliance (you’ll be our in-house policy expert).

• Support residents and fellows throughout their training, serving as a trusted resource and liaison with hospital administration.

• Manage resident recruitment, orientation, affiliation agreements, and external rotations.

• Keep things running smoothly behind the scenes—databases, evaluations, licensing, contracts, credentialing, and exams.

• Plan and execute major events like orientation, graduation, recruitment season, and faculty meetings.

• Create program communications—from websites and brochures to event invitations and recruitment materials.

• Lead the ERAS and NRMP processes during recruitment and Match season.

• Track and report on trainee and faculty data, ensuring accuracy and compliance.

• Help prepare for ACGME reviews, site visits, and other accreditation milestones.

• Promote a culture of quality, safety, and inclusion in everything you do.

What You Bring (Minimum Requirements)

• Associate’s degree in health sciences, business, public administration, education, or a related field.

• 2–5 years of experience in a high-level administrative role.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

• Strong organizational skills—you’re the type who finds joy in color-coded spreadsheets.

• Discretion and professionalism with sensitive information.

• Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint).

• Confidence in making independent decisions, with the judgment to escalate when needed.
