This role is ideal for professionals who are passionate about providing direct patient care, supporting community clinicians, and contributing to team-based approaches within the hospital setting.
As an OB Hospitalist Physician, your responsibilities will include delivering comprehensive care to obstetric and gynecological patients, including high-risk cases. You will work closely with Maternal Fetal Medicine specialists, often utilizing telemedicine support, and participate in daily board rounds to ensure continuity and quality of care. In addition, you will act as the Safety Officer for Labor and Delivery, championing patient safety protocols and best practices for all patients, regardless of their primary admitting clinician. Providing clinical support to community physicians and midwives, as well as covering practice as needed, will be integral parts of your role.

Continuing medical education is supported through an annual stipend and reimbursement for professional memberships, certification maintenance, and licensure fees associated with hospital assignments. This commitment to professional development ensures that you have the resources necessary to stay current in your field and deliver the best patient outcomes possible.
The OB Hospitalist Physician position is ideal for individuals who are highly relational and skilled at building strong, positive working relationships with hospital leadership, hospitalist teams, nurses, staff physicians, and administrative staff. Candidates should be board certified or actively pursuing board certification in Obstetrics and Gynecology and possess a valid medical license in the state of assignment.
