Thundermist Health Center is seeking a Family Medicine Obstetric Physician to join our team, delivering continuity-based primary care while providing prenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum care to patients across the childbearing spectrum. You'll manage your own primary care panel, follow your OB patients from first prenatal visit through delivery at our partner hospital, and provide newborn care — all within an integrated, mission-driven community health center. This is a working physician role (not a fellowship) at a multi-site FQHC serving over 65,000 patients across Rhode Island, and we're committed to delivering care regardless of insurance status, immigration status, or ability to pay. What You'll Do Primary Care
Provide full-scope primary medical care to an assigned patient panel including preventive, acute, and chronic disease management Perform comprehensive health histories, physical examinations, and diagnostic assessments; order, interpret, and follow up on labs, imaging, and testing Prescribe medications, including controlled substances, within scope of practice Coordinate referred services including specialty care, pharmacy, laboratory, and ancillary services

Teaching & Collaboration
Teach and train residents as assigned by Thundermist Precept physician residents or nurse practitioners as opportunities arise Participate in departmental, team, and full staff meetings to review and develop clinical goals, policies, and procedures
What We're Looking For You're a Family Medicine physician who trained in obstetrics because you believe continuity of care should extend from the exam room to the delivery room.
