You'll become part of an extensive network of approximately 80 employed OB/GYN physicians across AdventHealth's Central Florida division, creating a collegial environment where collaboration replaces competition. This isn't a small practice where you'll feel professionally isolated or a massive group where you're just a number – it's a thoughtfully structured network where physicians maintain autonomy while benefiting from shared resources and peer support. The diversity of practice styles within the group means you'll find mentors and colleagues who share your clinical philosophy, whether you prefer high-volume efficiency, surgical excellence, or relationship-based continuity care.
The true strength of AdventHealth's model lies in its revolutionary integration of multiple care team members. You'll work alongside certified nurse midwives and advanced practice providers who don't just support your practice – they enhance it. At locations like Lake Nona, the 1:4 ratio of physicians to CNMs creates a collaborative environment where each provider practices at the top of their license. The midwives handle routine prenatal visits and uncomplicated deliveries with your oversight, freeing you to focus on complex cases, surgeries, and medical management. Many physicians initially hesitant about this model report it dramatically improved their job satisfaction by eliminating the routine tasks that lead to burnout while preserving the meaningful aspects of obstetric care.

The culture emphasizes both independence and collaboration – you'll manage your own panel of patients while having immediate access to colleagues for complex cases or second opinions. The presence of the OB/GYN residency program, now in its third year with 12 residents, brings academic energy and teaching opportunities for those interested. Many attending physicians report that teaching residents keeps them current with evidence-based practices while providing intellectual stimulation beyond routine clinical care. For those not interested in teaching, the residents provide additional coverage and support without obligation to participate in education.
The medical group operates under experienced physician leadership who understand the realities of clinical practice. Dr. KJ, serving as medical director, maintains an active clinical presence while providing administrative guidance. The relatively new executive team, with most leaders joining within the past year, brings fresh perspectives and openness to innovation. They're actively working to enhance compensation structures and reduce administrative burdens, demonstrating genuine commitment to physician satisfaction. The vice presidents of Women's Services, having experience at other major health systems, understand what works and are implementing best practices while remaining receptive to physician input.
The remarkable aspect of this team is its growth trajectory – these aren't positions opening due to turnover or dissatisfaction. The year-over-year growth in delivery volumes and surgical cases means you're joining colleagues who are busy, successful, and enthusiastic about the future. Several physicians have shared that they stay at AdventHealth despite recruitment attempts from competitors because of the culture – one where faith-based values translate into genuine respect for work-life balance, where "whole person health" applies to providers as much as patients.
Your future colleagues represent diverse backgrounds and practice philosophies united by shared commitment to exceptional women's healthcare. Some focus heavily on minimally invasive surgery, others specialize in high-risk obstetrics, and many maintain traditional full-spectrum practices. This diversity means you'll find your tribe – colleagues who share your clinical interests and practice philosophy – while benefiting from exposure to different approaches and expertise. The collaborative spirit extends beyond professional courtesy to genuine friendship, with physicians regularly gathering for social events and supporting each other through life's challenges.
