Under the direction of Dental Clinics Manager, as well as collaborating with the department chair and leadership, the OMFS supervisor will assist in management decision and strategic planning as it relates to the implementation of departmental policies and procedures and will provide analysis in a variety of complex situations encompassing all areas of responsibility. They will also work with the Dental Center Back Office and the Patient Billing Unit to enhance billing workflows/procedure across OMFS Clinics. The OMFS Supervisor will serve as a liaison between faculty, residents and staff, and will collaborate with Dental Center leadership to identify and proactively mitigate issues which create barriers to clinics access and patient flow.

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.
