Who is Nest Health?
As the first value-based care provider built for families, Nest is on a mission to make comprehensive medical, behavioral, and social care radically accessible to America’s highest risk families. Founded in 2022 by Former Secretary of Health of Louisiana and practicing OB-GYN, Dr. Rebekah Gee, and Rebecca Kavoussi, Nest is the first-of-its-kind family-based, in-home, and virtual care model; this includes primary adult and pediatric care, mental health and nutrition support, vaccinations and labs, same-and-next-day acute visits, chronic condition and transitions of care management, social services and navigation, and more. Nest’s innovative model has resulted in partnerships, unlocking care for thousands of families across our markets. Nest’s early success has led to national traction across states and payers, laying the groundwork for future expansion to families across the United States.
What does it mean to be a part of a startup?
Working at a healthcare startup can be a unique experience with a fast-paced, ever-changing environment that can involve varied workloads, quick changes, and high expectations. Taking a position at a Healthcare startup allows for the opportunity to be high impact in disrupting the US healthcare system. You will have the chance to be creative, solution oriented, and have your voice heard! You will need to be flexible, accountable, and self-sufficient, and you might take on multiple roles. Here are some things you can expect:
Role Breadth- Your role may be less defined than in other settings, with the need to wear multiple hats & juggle various responsibilities
Learning opportunities- you will have the opportunity, at times, to function outside of your standard position and learn about new roles & areas
Fast Paced- Startups often must move faster than traditional large companies. This means you may be asked to cope with or advise on quick changes regarding systems or processes
Autonomy- You will need to be highly autonomous, as there is less structure and learning and development than at large orgs. This requires you to be able to learn asynchronously, as well as raise your hand when help is needed, or gaps are identified
Collaboration- With so many opportunities to build processes and improve how we deliver care to our patients, we rely heavily on one-another to communicate changes effectively to ensure seamless support across functions. This often requires this individual to give and receive feedback frequently and communicate challenges or opportunities effectively.
What is the purpose of this role?
The Associate Medical Director of Education is a centralized clinical leadership role that supports the translation of Nest's clinical standards into consistent practice in every market.. The Regional Medical Director sets Nest's clinical standards, protocols, and education priorities. This role puts them into practice through clinical oversight of providers, individualized precepting as needed and teaching
The goal is meaningful oversight, improved quality of care, and better documentation of that care in our value-based, family-centered model. This is fundamentally an education role carried out through oversight as a core modality, coupled with ongoing training and reinforcement of prioritized clinical quality areas via teaching sessions and point-of-care prompts that improve provision of care. The role sits at the Nest shared services level and includes direct clinical practice, so teaching stays grounded in the realities of caring for Nest patients.
What is the role?
This hybrid role has three connected parts, plus active clinical practice:
- Oversight. Serving as the collaborating provider for Arizona and North Carolina where state rules allow, and reviewing a sample of provider charts to coach in real time and spot patterns. This role may expand as Nest expands into new markets.
- Training. Individualized virtual precepting, teaching sessions, and case conferences that move providers toward Nest's clinical standards.
- Point-of-care reinforcement. Curating and building the tools that keep teaching in front of providers, including documentation, coding, and billing training that supports Nest's clinical documentation integrity (CDI) program; and EHR prompts that support Nest's quality program.
The Associate Medical Director of Education partners with and provides line supervision to Nest's dedicated collaborative practice physicians and partners with APP Pod Leaders (in every market) so that training and oversight reach every provider. The role is the escalation point for complex clinical or teaching questions that exceed market-level capacity. It does not cover Louisiana oversight, which stays with the Louisiana Market Medical Director/Collaborative Practice Physician.
What will you do? (Key Responsibilities)
Clinical oversight
- Serve as the oversight provider for Arizona and North Carolina. Arizona is an independent practice state and North Carolina is collaborative practice. Nest provides consistent, quality oversight regardless of market regulations.
- Review a sample of provider charts asynchronously (approximately 10–15% of charts, adjusted to state requirements). Use findings to give timely individual feedback and to identify patterns worth teaching to the wider group.
- Take part in Nest's company-wide physician backup call pool, which supports front-line APP calls, so providers always have a physician to consult. Low volume call, as secondary clinician.
- Respond to clinical questions and inbox messages from providers and APP Pod Leaders, and act as the clinical escalation point for questions that exceed market-level capacity.
Training and precepting
- Deliver individualized virtual precepting, often in the 30 to 60 minutes before field teams begin their day, across Eastern, Central, and Arizona time zones.
- Lead teaching sessions, case conferences, and provider and market meetings that put Nest's clinical standards into practice.
- Work with Nest Collaborating Physicians, and APP Pod Leaders to find and close recurring gaps in provider knowledge and skills.
Point-of-care content and reinforcement
- Curate first, then build: adapt existing and third-party clinical content, creating Nest-specific tools only where gaps remain.
- Favor the formats Nest providers find most useful at the point of care, such as searchable references, clinical decision trees, and short case-based teaching.
- Under the direction of the Regional Medical Director, help design and refine point-of-care prompts and encounter templates in the EHR so that teaching and quality expectations are applied consistently across Nest.
Documentation, coding, and billing
- Develop and deliver provider training on documentation, coding, and billing practices that accurately reflect the care delivered.
- Work closely with the CDI program to translate its priorities into training and EHR reinforcement that providers find clear and useful.
- Partner with clinical quality and compliance teams so training addresses regulatory requirements (for example, CME and state-specific competencies).
Measuring what works
- May track a small set of practical measures, such as provider engagement, chart review findings over time, and documentation and quality metrics. Use them to adjust training and to inform how the program should grow.
Clinical practice
- Maintain an active clinical practice of about 20% time (two Arizona virtual clinic half-days per week), ensuring lived experience caring for Nest patients and maintaining individual skills. Scope (consultative versus longitudinal panel) and time may flex with oversight and precepting needs as Nest grows.
Looking ahead
As Nest grows, this role may expand to include a fuller curriculum and competency-based education program, educational support for other clinical professions on Nest's interprofessional team, partnerships with local training sites, and hosting learners.
What do you bring to the Nest?
Minimum
- Current, unrestricted medical license and board certification appropriate to Nest's patient population (Family Medicine or Internal Medicine–Pediatrics)
- 2 years of experience teaching, precepting, or mentoring licensed clinicians in a substantive, ongoing capacity, for example precepting APPs or residents, formal faculty teaching, or a corporate clinical education role. Time spent teaching during your own residency or fellowship does not count toward this minimum.
- Comfort translating clinical guidelines and evidence into practical, point-of-care formats (references, decision tools, case-based teaching).
- Comfort providing feedback through chart review and delivering precepting virtually, including early-morning sessions across time zones.
- Experience supervising, mentoring, or leading clinicians, or readiness to lead physician direct reports.
- Mission-driven and passionate about Nest's value-based, family-centered model of care and about building a psychologically safe learning culture across a growing interprofessional team.
Preferred
- Experience teaching, precepting, or collaborating with advanced practice providers.
- Familiarity with documentation, coding, and risk adjustment in a value-based care setting.
- Experience building or refining EHR tools such as templates, prompts, or order sets.
- Experience with curriculum development or competency- or milestone-based educational frameworks.
What is required (travel & physical requirements)?
- Hybrid role. The position includes a small amount of travel, limited to initial training and then what is needed to maintain positive and productive relationships with front-line teams.

Who's Hiring
What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in director of medical education jobs.
- MD, DO, or equivalent doctoral degree with active or eligible medical licensure
- Five or more years of graduate medical education administration or program leadership experience
- Direct experience with ACGME accreditation standards and self-study processes
- Demonstrated ability to design and assess competency-based medical education curricula
- Familiarity with residency management software and electronic program evaluation tools
- Board certification in a clinical specialty and prior faculty appointment preferred
Tips for Your Director of Medical Education Job Search
Tailor your resume to ACGME outcomes
Hiring committees look for direct experience managing ACGME-accredited programs and documenting resident outcomes. Quantify your work by naming the programs you oversaw, the specialties covered, and any accreditation milestones you led rather than describing duties in general terms.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists director of medical education openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Distinguish GME from CME on your resume
Many postings separate graduate medical education from continuing medical education responsibilities. Make clear which you've led, since some health systems want both while others hire separately for each. Blending the two without distinction signals a lack of focus to reviewers.
Target postings that match your governance scope
Some roles report to a designated institutional official and carry full DIO authority, while others sit below that level. Read each job description for reporting structure and budget authority before applying, and frame your cover letter around the governance scope they describe.
Prepare a teaching philosophy for panel interviews
Committees at academic medical centers routinely ask you to present a written or verbal teaching philosophy. Draft one that connects your approach to competency-based medical education frameworks, since interviewers use it to gauge alignment with their program's accreditation strategy.
Negotiate protected time and faculty appointment
Many director of medical education roles include a faculty appointment with protected time for scholarship or program development. Confirm the percentage of protected time and whether the appointment is voting faculty before you accept, as these affect long-term career standing in academic medicine.
Director of Medical Education Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most director of medical educations?
Ascension, Nest Health, and Extremity Care are hiring the most director of medical educations right now, with openings concentrated in Texas, Utah, and Oklahoma, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Large academic health systems and multi-hospital networks account for the greatest share of active postings.
How many director of medical education jobs are remote?
About 100% of director of medical education openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of overseeing clinical training programs. Continuing medical education and curriculum development functions are the sub-areas most likely to allow remote or hybrid arrangements, while roles tied to ACGME program oversight typically require on-site presence.
How do you become a director of medical education?
Most directors of medical education start as attending physicians or clinical educators who take on program coordinator or associate program director roles within a residency or fellowship. From there, moving into an assistant director position at a teaching hospital builds the administrative and accreditation experience committees want. Completing a graduate certificate or master's in health professions education strengthens your candidacy, and consistent publication or presentation on medical education topics signals readiness for a director-level search.
Can you get a director of medical education job without prior administrative experience?
Getting hired at the director level without prior program administration experience is uncommon, but candidates who have served as core faculty, clerkship director, or associate program director can make a strong case. Health systems rebuilding a program from the ground up sometimes hire motivated faculty who have led curriculum committees or quality improvement initiatives, treating the director role as a step up rather than a lateral administrative transfer.
What does the director of medical education interview process look like?
The process typically starts with a phone screen conducted by human resources or the chief academic officer, followed by a structured panel interview with department chairs, program directors, and graduate medical education committee members. Finalists are usually asked to present a vision statement or teaching philosophy to a broader faculty audience. Some institutions include a meeting with current residents or fellows to assess cultural and educational fit before extending an offer.
Where can I find and apply to director of medical education jobs?
You can find and apply to director of medical education jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from academic medical centers, health systems, and teaching hospitals across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your specialty background and program scope, then apply directly to each position that fits.
