Position Overview

OB/GYN & Program Director Opportunities

Two Pathways to Shape Women's Healthcare in Northern California

You have a unique opportunity to join Dignity Health Medical Foundation in Stockton as they launch their first employed OB/GYN service line—a strategic priority addressing a major community healthcare gap. Following the dissolution of the previous OB/GYN group, you'll enter a practice with immediate patient demand and robust institutional support, empowering you to build something meaningful from the ground up.

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all position. Choose between two distinct career paths—each offering the flexibility to shape a practice aligned with your clinical interests and lifestyle priorities.

The Clinical OB/GYN Position: Design Your Practice

As a clinical OB/GYN, you'll have the autonomy to define your role. Prefer outpatient-only gynecology? Focus on colposcopy, LEEP, and comprehensive women's wellness—no deliveries, no call. Prefer full-scope OB/GYN practice? Deliver babies with OB hospitalist backup and optional call. Your work-life balance starts on your terms.

• Board-certified or board-eligible OB/GYN
• Outpatient-only or full-scope OB/GYN based on your goals
• Optional call with OB hospitalist program support
• Full-time role with flexible 4-day workweek options
• Brand-new service line prioritized by Dignity Health Medical Foundation
• Hospital privileges at St. Joseph’s Medical Center

The OB/GYN Program Director Position: Clinical Practice Meets Academic Leadership

For those passionate about education, the Program Director position offers the chance to combine clinical excellence with academic innovation. You’ll split your time equally between patient care and the foundational work of launching a new OB/GYN residency program at St. Joseph’s Medical Center.

From overseeing ACGME accreditation to designing curriculum and mentoring residents, you’ll shape the next generation of OB/GYNs while enjoying the professional satisfaction of leading an academic initiative.

• Board-certified OB/GYN with 5+ years of clinical experience
• 50% clinical care, 50% residency development and directorship
• Full employment through Dignity Health Medical Foundation
• Academic leadership in ACGME accreditation, curriculum creation, and faculty recruitment
• Founding Program Director of new OB/GYN residency at St. Joseph’s Medical Center
• Experience with or passion for academic medicine strongly preferred

Service Area and Community Need

Stockton and the broader San Joaquin County region serve a metro population of over 320,000. The previous community OB/GYN group’s closure created a significant care void, leaving thousands of women without consistent access to OB/GYN services. This role directly addresses that need while offering a unique ground-floor opportunity to shape a high-impact service line.

Whether you choose the clinical path or the academic one, you’ll be part of a physician-led transformation backed by committed system leadership. This is more than a job—it’s your chance to design the kind of OB/GYN care this community deserves.
