Job Title: Locum Tenens OB/GYN Physician (Full Scope).
Position Summary:
We are seeking a Board-Certified OB/GYN Physician to provide comprehensive locum tenens coverage. This position handles full-scope OB/GYN care within a low-volume, low-acuity community setting. The ideal candidate will provide reliable coverage blocks, managing 24-hour pager call, low-volume emergency department consultations, and occasional clinic coverage.
Schedule & Clinical Volume:
- Call Structure: 24-hour pager call. Coverage blocks require a minimum of 5 to 7 consecutive days, though extended blocks (10+ days) are highly preferred.
- Call Volume: Low volume with rare call-backs. Emergency Department GYN volume is very low (averaging 1–2 consultations per month).
- Clinic Coverage: Scheduled on an as-needed basis to support existing staff (typically Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM – 4:00 PM).
- Clinic Volume: Averages 15 to 18 patients per day when clinic shifts are active.
- Facility Overview: Full-scope care utilizing Epic EMR. The unit features a 10-bed LDRP (Labor, Delivery, Recovery, and Postpartum) setup with a 2-bed newborn nursery (Level 1 NICU). Annual deliveries average approximately 360 per year (~30 per month).
Key Responsibilities:
- Provide full-scope OB/GYN clinical care, including handling routine and emergent deliveries during both standard hours and call blocks.
- Manage 24-hour pager call for acute obstetric and gynecological needs.
- Conduct weekday outpatient clinic assessments, evaluations, and prenatal/postnatal care as needed.
- Collaborate seamlessly with the onsite interdisciplinary nursing and healthcare teams (no supervision of mid-level providers required).
- Maintain accurate, timely electronic charting within Epic.
