    Default job background
    Description
    The GW Medical Faculty Associates (MFA) was incorporated in July 2000 as a not-for-profit, physician-led practice group.

    The organization functioned as an independent organization in support of The George Washington University School of Medicine and Sciences as a multi-specialty physician practice group.

    The GW MFA has grown to become the largest independent academic physician practice in the Washington, DC metro region with more than 500 physicians and nearly 200 APP providers.

    In 2018, the MFA bylaws were revised to allow The George Washington University to serve as the sole corporate member while the MFA retained independent 501c3 status.

    The purpose of the change was to ensure alignment between the MFA and The George Washington University.

    MFA physicians provide comprehensive patient care, offering one practice for the whole person with 52 medical and surgical specialties.

    As members of the GW School of Medicine and Health Sciences faculty, MFA providers are teachers and mentors for medical students, residents, fellows, and researchers preserving the rich tradition of academics, research, and healing.

    In addition to maintaining a closely integrated alliance with The George Washington University and The George Washington University Hospital (GWUH), separately owned and operated by Universal Health Services (UHS), the GW MFA has active referring relationships with 12 area hospitals.


    The GW MFA's leading healthcare presence in the DC metro region is complemented by a network of community-based practices in DC, Maryland, and Virginia.

    Given its geographic location in central NW Washington, DC, and proximity to more than 175 resident embassies, the MFA continues to evolve its international clinical outreach.

    Position Summary

    Clinical pharmacy services in the outpatient setting are an area of expanded interest nationwide.

    The introduction of the Clinical Pharmacist Practitioner designation has served to elevate the level of practice and encourage greater involvement of pharmacists in the outpatient provision of patient care and medication management.

    The focus of the position will be on providing comprehensive pharmaceutical care and disease management in the ambulatory care setting to adult patients seen at the GWCC.
