Job Description

Academic OB/GYN Hospitalist12-Hour Shifts | 14 Shifts per Month | No On-Call Duties | Academic Medicine | Milwaukee, Wisconsin

A nationally recognized academic medical center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin is seeking a Board Certified or Board Eligible OB/GYN Physician to join its expanding Division of General Obstetrics and Gynecology as an Academic OB/GYN Hospitalist .

This is an excellent opportunity for an OB/GYN who wants to remain clinically active in high- and low-risk obstetrics, emergent gynecology, and surgical care while stepping away from the traditional demands of private practice. The hospitalist model provides a predictable shift-based schedule with no on-call responsibilities , allowing physicians to fully disconnect when they are off.

You'll practice at a major statewide referral center with one of Wisconsin's only Level IV Obstetrical Units , directly connected to a Level IV NICU , while teaching the next generation of physicians in a highly collaborative academic environment.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Academic OB/GYN Hospitalist position
• No on-call duties
• Predictable 12-hour shifts
• 14 shifts per month
• Balanced rotation of weeknights, weekends, and holidays
• Full disconnection from clinical responsibilities on days off
• Care for both high-risk and low-risk obstetric patients
• Manage emergent gynecologic conditions
• Perform surgical procedures as needed
• Practice within a Level IV Obstetrical Unit
• Direct connection to a Level IV NICU
• Teaching and mentoring opportunities with residents, fellows, and medical students
• Large Generalist Division with 26 faculty/staff physicians and 7 APPs
• Collaborative team-based environment
• Guaranteed shift rate 
• Full-time salaried employment
• Excellent option for experienced OB/GYNs seeking a sustainable long-term career model

Clinical Practice

The Academic Hospitalist will provide comprehensive hospital-based obstetric and gynecologic care at the Birth Center and Emergency Department.

Clinical Responsibilities

• Manage high-risk obstetric patients
• Manage low-risk obstetric patients
• Provide hospital-based labor and delivery care
• Evaluate and manage emergent gynecologic conditions
• Perform surgical procedures when clinically necessary
• Collaborate closely with Labor & Delivery nurses
• Work alongside midwives
• Coordinate care with attending physicians and other hospital staff
• Participate in a highly integrated multidisciplinary care environment

The hospital serves as a statewide referral center , providing exposure to patients across a broad range of clinical complexity.

Schedule & Work-Life Balance

One of the most attractive aspects of this position is its clearly defined hospitalist schedule.

• 14 shifts per month
• Approximately 168 scheduled hours per month
• Balanced mix of weeknights, weekends, and holidays
• No traditional on-call duties
• Additional shifts available if desired. 
• Academic Expectations: Teaching is primarily incorporated into the physician's scheduled clinical shifts.

Unlike a traditional private-practice OB/GYN model, physicians can fully disconnect on their days off , providing greater predictability for personal time, family, travel, and wellness.

For experienced OB/GYNs, the hospitalist structure can also provide a sustainable way to continue practicing the specialty without the ongoing demands associated with managing a private outpatient practice.

High-Acuity Obstetrics

Physicians practice within a major academic referral environment capable of managing highly complex obstetrical patients.
