This position can be located in either Norfolk or Richmond, Virginia! Our blood donors are ordinary people – high school students, factory and office workers, business executives, parents and grandparents, and people from every walk of life. But they share common motivations – a generous spirit, a desire to give back to their community and to help others. If these are values that are important in your job search, we encourage you to apply for a Medical Director position at the American Red Cross today to learn more. What do the best Red Cross physicians do differently than your typical Transfusion Medicine physician? Our physicians put themselves out there for internal talks and conferences, to meet with hospital clients and to meet with industry leaders. The Red Cross firmly believes in a performance-driven environment. Even new Medical Director teammates have substantial opportunity to grow professionally & increase their scope of responsibility within the American Red Cross physician group. What does a Red Cross Medical Director need to do to be successful? Be a team player – in this role you will be partnering closely with the members of your Region. Additionally, you’ll be joining a network of physicians throughout a larger geographic division and as well as a national network of 30+ Transfusion Medicine physicians.

Outstanding public speaking/presentation skills and interpersonal skills are essential to success in this role – we’re looking for someone that can do the “paperwork” that is part of any Medical Director job but also someone that is truly motivated & energized by working with people.
