B) delivering performance feedback to providers? That's like the whole point of having a medical director, isn't it? I'm going with C) as the correct answer.

Haha, I bet the person who wrote this question is a medical director who's tired of all the staff asking them about the latest treatments. 'Not my job, folks!'

Ah, I see what they're getting at. Medical directors typically don't get involved in the actual delivery of care, so A) maintaining clinical practices must be the odd one out here.

That makes sense, medical directors are more focused on overseeing and managing rather than directly providing care.

D) educating other MCO staff about new clinical developments or provider innovations that might impact clinical practice management? Really? I thought medical directors were responsible for that. This option seems like a clear exception to me.

I believe the answer is C) participating in utilization management (UM) activities because that is a key role for medical directors in MCOs.
