Work Environment
Chief medical officers work in typical office environments on a Monday through Friday schedule. They frequently interact with physicians, other healthcare professionals, and business executives. This career can be stressful because CMOs are accountable for the day-to-day operations of the facility, and they face many challenges such as staffing shortages, budget overruns, malfunctioning equipment, and lack of buy-in from staff regarding new initiatives. On the other hand, many CMOs enjoy their jobs because no day is the same and this career allows them to have a positive effect on the health outcomes of others.
