<p>This is a traveling senior leadership role for a board-certified Anesthesiologist ready to step beyond a single-site practice and build, stabilize, or transform anesthesia programs across a national network. As a Transitional Medical Director (TMD), you serve as interim Chief at newly launched or operationally challenged sites — deploying your clinical and administrative expertise where it is needed most, with full company-paid travel and the freedom to maintain your primary residence anywhere in the country. The organization administers more than 2.6 million anesthetics annually, making it the largest anesthesiology provider in the United States, and the TMD role sits at the center of that growth engine.</p>
