The Medical Director role is hybrid of clinical activity and administrative leadership with full oversight of administrative, clinical, financial, research activities within the department of Rehabilitation.
Reporting to the CEO of Saint Luke’s Physician Group, will build close working relationships across the entire system and will provide general physician leadership of Saint Luke’s Physician Group physiatrists, and clinical leadership of the overall Saint Luke’s Rehabilitation Institute.
This physician leader will oversee the continued development of a broad array of rehabilitation programs to compliment the health system’s already strong stroke rehabilitation program. These programs include amputee, brain injury, cancer, neuropsychology, spasticity, spinal cord injury, etc.
He or she will provide clinical leadership and direction to capitalize on the SLRI’s expansive robotics portfolio through improved integration into care plans, additional robotics-focused outcomes research, working with developers of emerging technologies and equipment, partnership with marketing to develop patient success stories, and collaboration with the SLHS Foundation to cultivate funds to support the ongoing maintenance and acquisition of the Institute’s robotics fleet
The Medical Director will work collaboratively with clinical liaisons and admissions team to establish patient screening and admission criteria, as well as workflows to enable compliant, efficient and effective patient admission decisions.
A partnership with nursing and administrative leadership will be critical to ensuring the SLRI is run optimally efficient and effectively.

Engage with other clinical specialties (e.g.: cardiology, urology, surgery, wound care, orthopedics, etc.) to ensure the institute’s ability to care for and manage medically complex patients.
In partnership with the disciplines of nursing and therapy, a focus to develop education and workforce development programs will be instrumental in the development of non-physician bedside caregivers.

Celebrated cultural traditions include Kansas City jazz and theater, which was the center of the Vaudevillian Orpheum circuit in the 1920s, the Chiefs (NFL), Royals (MLB), and the Sporting KC (MLS) sports franchises, and famous cuisine based on Kansas City-style barbecue, Kansas City strip steak, and craft breweries. Residents of the area experience the beauty of all four seasons while enjoying the affordable, family-friendly environment, with a median home price just about $200,000.

Other culinary and shopping opportunities abound in the area, including the 39th Street District, which is known as Restaurant Row, and features one of Kansas City's largest selections of independently owned restaurants and boutique shops. For outdoors enthusiasts, Kansas City has over 200 urban parks, including Swope Park, which features a zoo, a woodland nature and wildlife rescue center, two golf courses, two lakes, an amphitheater, a day-camp, and numerous picnic grounds.
