MCHC offers full spectrum OBGYN services that will be provided at the Mariposa Nogales West clinic and Holy Cross Hospital. They are both located at the same complex and about a 30-second walk from one to the other. You will see all clinic patients at Nogales West and all hospital service, deliveries, c-sections and surgeries at Holy Cross Hospital.
The basic schedule is really up to the providers and they have a ton of flexibility. This position will consist of either a 4 day (10 hours) or 5-day (8 hour) work week. You will see around 15-20 patients per day and on a busy day can get up to 25 but that is a rare occurrence. You can expect about 8-10 deliveries a month with 20-25% being c-sections. There will usually be about 1 major surgery a month and 1-2 minor each week. There will be 2-3 procedures each clinic day, mostly bread and butter women’s health procedures that include IUD removals/insertions, contraception, colposcopies. They do have urology on site as well so there are some urogynecology procedures and they perform circumcisions.
Call: The best part of this position is not having to take call. Mariposa is currently contracted out with Southern Arizona Laborists, who have been in business for over 10 years. They currently cover 6 days a week, 24-hours a day and beginning May 1st of this year they will be taking over all 7 days and will cover nights, weekends and most if not all holidays.
This is a very unique perk of this opportunity as it allows you to have no call responsibilities whatsoever and only deliver babies during normal working hours. However, if you would like to follow through to delivery with a specific patient you are more than welcome to deliver that baby no matter when the birth takes place.
