OB/GYN Hospitalist
Headline
We are looking for an OB/GYN Hospitalist who wants to focus on hospital-based obstetric care while working within a collaborative, privately owned, physician-led organization with a growing hospitalist presence in Arizona.
Overview & Highlights
- Location: Arizona — exact hospital and community depend on the hospitalist program
- Schedule: Hospital-based coverage; shift length, nights, weekends, and annual shift commitment vary by program
- Compensation: Physician compensation generally ranges from $300,000-$550,000, depending on experience and position, with work RVU productivity incentives; hospitalist-specific compensation to be confirmed
- Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with match, life insurance, and long-term disability
- Sign-On / Relocation: Physician sign-on bonuses generally range from $50,000-$100,000 with a retention commitment; relocation reimbursement available
- Additional Support: Customized loan repayment arrangements and compensated leadership opportunities may be available
Location & Logistics
- Work Environment: Hospital-based OB/GYN coverage within a privately owned, physician-led organization
- Coverage Model: Support hospitalist programs, practice physicians, and hospital call coverage based on the applicable contract
- Travel: Program dependent; some affiliated practices work with two hospitals located approximately 3-5 miles apart
- Call Expectations: May include open call shifts, overflow coverage, or secondary-hospital coverage; exact expectations depend on the program
- Start Timeline: Current and future opportunities are anticipated, including programs that may require rapid hiring. We are hiring for the right long-term fit and can be flexible on timing.
About the Opportunity / A Day in the Life
This opportunity is designed for an OB/GYN who enjoys hospital-based medicine and wants to be an important part of a team coverage model. Depending on the hospital contract, you may provide obstetric hospitalist coverage, support office-based OB/GYNs, pick up call coverage, or help manage coverage at a secondary hospital.
The organization works with multiple hospitals and continues to pursue new hospitalist programs. A newly awarded program could create several physician openings on a relatively short timeline, making this a strong opportunity for physicians interested in joining and helping establish a growing coverage team.
Specific responsibilities—including delivery volume, GYN emergencies, high-risk obstetrics, procedures, shift structure, and clinical support—will be confirmed for each hospital program.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Physician-led and privately owned with no current plans for private equity ownership
- Opportunity to focus primarily on hospital-based OB/GYN care
- Growing hospitalist platform with potential to join new programs as they launch
- Collaborative coverage model designed to support practice-based OB/GYN physicians
- Potential for additional compensated leadership opportunities
- Bilingual and multilingual physicians are highly valued, with a potential language stipend depending on qualifications and certification
Job Duties & Responsibilities
- Provide hospital-based obstetric and gynecologic care within the assigned program
- Evaluate and manage patients presenting for obstetric care
- Provide deliveries and other procedures within the scope of the hospitalist program
- Respond to OB/GYN consultations and urgent clinical needs as assigned
- Support office-based OB/GYN physicians through hospital and call coverage
- Provide overflow or secondary-hospital coverage when required
- Participate in nights, weekends, call, or in-house coverage according to the applicable schedule
- Collaborate with physicians, nursing teams, APPs, and specialty services
- Maintain timely and accurate clinical documentation
- Communicate effectively with patients, families, and referring physicians
- Follow hospital quality, safety, credentialing, and clinical practice requirements
Required Qualifications
- MD or DO
- Completed accredited OB/GYN residency training
- Board certified or board eligible in Obstetrics and Gynecology
- Board-eligible physicians must meet applicable certification timelines
- Eligible for Arizona medical licensure; an active Arizona license is strongly preferred for opportunities requiring rapid placement
- Eligible for applicable hospital privileges and credentialing
- Strong clinical judgment, dependability, and communication skills
- Ability to communicate clearly in English
Preferred Qualifications
- Early- to mid-career OB/GYN physicians are of particular interest based on long-term staffing needs
- Active Arizona medical license
- Interest in hospital-based obstetrics and collaborative coverage
- Comfortable joining a new or rapidly expanding hospitalist program
- Bilingual or multilingual capabilities
- J-1 and H-1B candidates may be considered depending on the specific opportunity and timing
Malpractice Coverage
Professional liability coverage is paid while employed. Prior-acts/nose coverage may be available subject to underwriting approval. Tail responsibility varies based on length of employment and applicable plan terms; full details will be reviewed with candidates before acceptance.
