Chief and Medical Director of Anesthesiology
About The Position
Mass General Brigham Community Anesthesiology is seeking an experienced anesthesiologist to serve as Chief and Medical Director of Anesthesiology at Cooley Dickinson Hospital (CDH) in Northampton, Massachusetts. This is an opportunity to assume meaningful physician leadership while continuing to practice in a highly collaborative community hospital environment. The Chief and Medical Director will have a direct voice in how anesthesia services are staffed, scheduled, developed and delivered at Cooley Dickinson — with responsibility for quality and safety, clinical operations, recruitment, team development and future program growth. The role reports to both the President and Chief Operating Officer of Cooley Dickinson Hospital and the MGB Chair of Anesthesiology and is part of the broader Mass General Brigham integrated anesthesiology service line. Cooley Dickinson offers something increasingly difficult to find: the relationships and influence of a community-based practice with the connection and resources of a major health system. MGB describes Cooley Dickinson as combining high-quality local care with the resources of Mass General Brigham while maintaining the familiarity of a community hospital. We are seeking a clinically strong, collaborative physician leader who enjoys bringing people together, improving how care is delivered and building high-performing teams. The successful candidate will be energized by the opportunity to lead an established anesthesia practice while helping define its next chapter. The Chief and Medical Director will help shape both the day-to-day practice and its long-term direction, partnering closely with anesthesiologists, CRNAs, surgeons, nursing, perioperative leaders and hospital leadership. The department has specifically designed the role to include responsibility for clinical operations, growth planning, recruitment, quality and safety, OR performance and team leadership.
