Job Description

Job Description

Our organization is in search of a Board Certified or Board Eligible OB/GYN physician to become a part of our growing OB/GYN Hospitalist team. This unique position emphasizes delivering in-house obstetric and gynecologic care for both assigned and unassigned patients, while also addressing emergencies. The hospitalist will work closely with both our employed and community OB/GYNs to maintain a high standard of care throughout our services.

Our care network includes 36 OB/GYNs, 8 gynecologic-only physicians, 2 Family Medicine OB physicians, and 16 Nurse Practitioners/Physician Assistants. We are proud to assist in the delivery of around 4,000 babies annually, with continued growth anticipated as South Carolina ranks among the fastest-growing states in the nation.

The Hospitalist plays a vital role in resident education and ensures that a qualified OB/GYN physician is available on-site during critical hours.

Our hospital system offers subspecialty services in Maternal-Fetal Medicine, gynecologic oncology, and urogynecology. Additionally, consultations from other specialties, such as general surgery, urology, and interventional radiology, are readily accessible within our healthcare system.

These shifts are 12 hours long, occurring Monday through Friday, with full weekend coverage.
