Summary : Site is seeking experienced, board-certified OB/GYN physicians for a long-term locum assignment supporting a growing women's health program.

- Hospital Call Coverage Preference will be given to providers capable of covering all three functions.
Practice Setting: Providers will work within a robust OB/GYN team of OB/GYN physicians, APP‚¬„¢s, and certified nurse midwives.

Coverage Flexibility: A key requirement of this search is provider flexibility.
