Department Overview

The Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is an exciting academic and clinical enterprise, the role of which is teaching and practicing the diagnosis and treatment of localized and systemic oral diseases and developmental conditions and advancing knowledge about them.

The UCSF School of Dentistry is committed to providing outstanding, integrated patient-centered care, preparing the next generation of clinicians and scientists for a rapidly evolving health care system, leading the world in scientific discovery and its translation into improved patient care and public health, creating and maintaining a supportive work and learning environment that attracts the best faculty, staff, students and trainees who can meet the changing needs of the School, society and profession, and optimizing resources to support strategic objectives and maximize stakeholder value.

We provide comprehensive oral health care services with over 120,000 patient visits per year. We offer a four-year DDS program as well as a two-year program for international dentists that culminates in the DDS degree. We have numerous specialty residencies, PhD and Master's degree programs in Oral and Craniofacial Sciences, a combined DDS-PhD program, and a combined PhD-dental specialty training program. Other graduate programs include Craniofacial and Mesenchymal Biology and Bioengineering, and a DDS/MBA program. The School is one of the preeminent oral and craniofacial research enterprises in the world, ranking number one in National Institute of Health funding for 24 consecutive years.

This position is in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery which has clinics that perform both dental and medical procedures. This position provides general supervision to the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Faculty Clinic, and the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Student Clinic. The Clinic Supervisor provides immediate supervision to the front desk functions including registration, check-in, scheduling, answering phone calls and customer service. The Clinic Supervisor works cooperatively with the Billing Supervisor and Back Office Supervisor to ensure operations run smoothly.

This OMFS Supervisor 2 role is a reclassification from Supervisor 1 given the pronounced growth of the Oral Surgery Department (OMFS) and the level of responsibility and complexity of this role as compared to FY23 and before. Since FY23, OMFS has grown over 10% in visits, cases, and procedural volumes leading to a greater complexity and volumes of visits, procedural and case scheduling oversight. OMFS OR locations have also grown including Bayfront ORs and this supervisor is required to be engaged in enterprise perioperative management and reporting efforts on a weekly basis that was not required in the prior Supervisor 1 classification. The Supervisor now manages front desk, surgical scheduling, authorization, front end revenue cycle, and 2 clinic sites at 513 Parnassus and 707 Parnassus.

In most cases, in the Dental Center when a supervisor has more than 1 clinic site, they are made a Supervisor 2 given the need for delegation and management oversight they must have for managing clinics where they are not always located in person. This level of multi-site oversight requires knowledge and savvy for creating policies, standard works, using dashboards and metrics to review productivity, and implementing True North and LEAN at multiple sites while managing their teams and ensuring high level support for the faculty and providers at these sites. This level of managerial sophistication, and engagement, and that OMFS has grown materially over the past few years, is just cause for reclassifying this position into Supervisor 2 and ensuring we make the position attractive to a high performing candidate pool and set the hire up for success.
