Position Overview

Understanding the Role

South Peninsula Hospital in Homer, Alaska is recruiting a board-certified or board-eligible OB/GYN to join an established women's health program. This is a replacement opportunity for a physician departing in July, with a clear path toward a medical director role for a candidate interested in leadership. You would join a team of OB/GYNs and midwives that supports the full range of obstetric and gynecologic care for the Kenai Peninsula.

The position is built around a collaborative midwife model. Midwives carry primary call and manage most vaginal deliveries, which keeps your call burden focused on high-risk deliveries, C-sections, and surgical cases. The result is a balanced OB and GYN practice with a sustainable weekly schedule.

Why This Position Exists

The current OB/GYN is leaving in July, and the hospital is building a stable, long-term women's health team for the Kenai Peninsula. There is no competing private OB practice in the service area. The hospital is looking for a physician who wants to put down roots in the community, collaborate with the midwife team, and help shape the program going forward.
