Is there such thing as a medical director that doesn’t have an MD?

I will tell you having a medical director that is not an MD will not go over well with physicians

like

I don’t think a Medical Director without a MD/DO exists. Not even in pharma. Maybe you’re thinking clinical director? Medical = physician. Healthcare/clinical = physician or any of the other ancillary professions.

I've looked but it seems rare. Most seem to want someone with a nurse or doctor degree. Maybe at a smaller hospital?

My husband is an MD so I’m aware. My dads title was Medical Center Director. He was the ceo of the hospital. Department directors are always physicians as far as I know.

CEOs of hospitals are usually not called Medical Directors (maybe at local or smaller hospitals)

There are Medical Directors on units (MDs typically) and there may also be Admin Directors by unit (which are usually business non medical, but sometimes maybe clinical)

CMOs (which are Chief Medical Officers- at most larger systems) are almost always MDs/DOs not PharmDs (99% of time)

CEOs do not have to have MD although some do. Have seen mixture of no masters degree to MD, MBA, MS, Nursing, MHA, MPH etc. Really dependent on hospitals size and system.

Worked at 3 top 10 hospitals in-house, and consulted for several othe major and regional systems. This applies to almost every system I have seen or worked at.

Just to follow that up you maybe thinking of Administrative Director

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.

If you’re a manager and you see an employee that wants to branch out into a different department, why would you keep them boxed in for 2+ years?
