Coastal Southeastern Massachusetts - conveniently located under 30 minutes from Providence, Rhode Island, and less than an hour from Boston, Massachusetts

Our organization is dedicated to uniting top-tier physicians to provide outstanding care and services. As one of the largest and rapidly expanding health systems in New England, we are proud of our Obstetrics & Gynecology division, which is part of a larger group comprising over 800 providers. Since its establishment in 1996, we have become a preferred destination for healthcare professionals. As a vibrant member of the New England medical community, we offer a practice environment that feels like home.

Located on the picturesque southeastern coast of Massachusetts, we are looking for an Obstetrician/Gynecologist to join our OB/GYN division as an OB Laborist. This role is crucial to our team, which includes 7 full-time OBGYN physicians, 2 gynecologists, and 7 Certified Nurse Midwives. We are expanding our OB Laborist program to enhance work/life balance and to better serve our community with our commitment to best practices.

Our OB Laborists collaborate closely with providers to ensure a seamless experience for patients and their families throughout the perinatal journey.

The OB Laborists will primarily work at St. Luke’s Hospital in New Bedford, MA, with plans to extend services to Charlton Memorial Hospital in Fall River, MA, in the near future. Both hospitals are designated as Level II Maternity Centers, featuring Level II nursery care and the first special care nursery in New England with combined mother/baby rooms. The OB Laborists will focus solely on triage and inpatient care, with no outpatient responsibilities. The contracted OB Laborist is expected to fulfill a minimum of 12 to 24-hour call shifts monthly, as outlined in the contract. Typically, a part-time OB Laborist covers 24 hours weekly, while a full-time OB Laborist provides 48 hours of call coverage each week.

This role offers the opportunity to deliver patient care within a high-volume, quality-focused team environment.
