Maternal-Fetal Medicine Physician Opportunity

We are excited to announce an opening for a Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) physician to join our dedicated and mission-oriented team at Valleywise Health Medical Center (VHMC) in Phoenix, Arizona. Our organization is a nonprofit medical group comprising over 450 healthcare providers across more than 25 specialties, serving the greater Phoenix area.

Position Overview

This role is centered around a consultation-focused MFM practice , providing a distinctive chance to offer specialized, high-level care without the responsibilities of delivering babies. Physicians in this position will concentrate on:

• High-risk obstetric consultations
• Advanced ultrasound techniques
• Prenatal diagnostics
• Multidisciplinary patient care

The practice is designed to promote both clinical excellence and a sustainable work-life balance.

Clinical Environment

VHMC acts as the safety-net hospital for Maricopa County, catering to a diverse and medically intricate patient population. MFM physicians will provide care in both clinic and hospital settings and will share home call responsibilities for VHMC and the Arizona Perinatal Program. The clinical program encompasses comprehensive high-risk obstetric services, including:

• Ultrasound
• Diagnostic testing
• Genetic counseling
• Diabetes education

This allows physicians to fully engage in consultative maternal-fetal medicine.

Teaching and Mentorship

This position also offers significant opportunities for teaching and mentoring the next generation of healthcare professionals. MFM physicians will serve as core faculty for the Creighton University integrated OB/GYN Residency and MFM Fellowship, hosted at VHMC and St. Joseph's Hospital/Dignity Health. The program includes 32 residents and one MFM fellow annually, fostering a vibrant learning atmosphere.

Our practice is further enhanced by academic partnerships with institutions such as Creighton University, the University of Arizona College of Medicine, Mayo Clinic, and Arizona State University. Physicians have the chance to achieve academic ranks and educate medical students from these institutions. We encourage involvement in clinical research, quality improvement projects, and scholarly activities, with numerous opportunities in areas like healthcare disparities and federally funded research initiatives.

Work Culture and Community

Beyond clinical and academic experiences, our organization prides itself on an exceptional work culture characterized by collegiality, collaboration, and a shared dedication to serving underserved populations. This is a practice where physicians are supported in their professional development while engaging in meaningful work that enhances maternal and fetal health outcomes.

Living in Phoenix

Residing in Phoenix offers an excellent quality of life, featuring over 300 days of sunshine annually, a vibrant cultural and culinary scene, and easy access to outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, and weekend getaways to stunning locations like Sedona and the Grand Canyon. Phoenix combines the conveniences of a major city with a friendly and livable atmosphere, making it an ideal place to establish both a career and a home.

Qualifications

Applicants should possess an M.D. or D.O. degree, be board certified or eligible in Maternal-Fetal Medicine, and qualify for medical licensure in Arizona. A strong commitment to clinical excellence, education, and collaborative care is essential.

Compensation and Benefits

We offer a highly competitive salary and benefits package, which includes:

• Generous paid time off
• CME allowance with dedicated time for continuing education
• Employer-paid malpractice insurance

Join a practice that integrates clinical excellence, academic involvement, and purpose-driven care in one of the most desirable and rapidly expanding cities in the nation.
