SIGN ON BONUS AVAILABLE FOR FULL-TIME OB/GYN Physician

We are a small hospital in Upstate NY, 55 miles from Albany and 45 minutes from Saratoga. We have a low volume labor and delivery (approximately 500 per year). The low volume can be attributed to demographics. This year we saw a 20% upswing by end of June. We have a strong commitment to deliver this service and a beautiful birthing center.

We currently run Womens Health out of three (3) of our twelve (12) Primary/Specialty Care Centers. One is in Gloversville and is attached to the hospital, another in Perth, NY which is 9.2 miles away and the last in Fonda, NY.

We have a four (4) MD group with two (2) midwives and three (3) WH NP. Our office practices are quite strong.

This is a full time position that assumes a four (4) day week and a one (1) in four (4) call. We have Nurse Midwives who take first call when they are assigned for call which means that you would be called by doctors, ER or the Birthing Unit in those circumstances, but not patients (and, yes, in full disclosure, the math dictates that there are times when a midwife will not be on call with you, but it is fairly rotated and at those times, GYN patient calls go to our other NP call rotations). We would assume that you would do deliveries and surgeries.

Our organization offers competitive compensation and a rich benefits package including four (4) weeks of paid time off and seven (7) holidays, Malpractice insurance, all dues, licenses, etc, paid. Health insurance and a paid CME allowance are offered.

Medical group has an outstanding medical team. From primary care to cardiology, our medical staff includes over 180 physicians and 45 allied healthcare professionals with active, courtesy, or consulting privileges in 31 specialties services servicing 100,000 people in a tri-county area. We are located in a family-oriented community with excellent schools and year-round recreation in the nearby Adirondacks, 45 minutes from the Albany/Saratoga region.

Group is designated a primary care physician shortage area through HPSA. J-1 and H1B visa candidates in any specialty are invited to apply.
