As an OB Hospitalist at Union Hospital in Terre Haute, you'll step into a role that blends clinical excellence with genuine work-life balance. This position offers the opportunity to be part of a well-established OB Hospitalist program that provides critical obstetric care to a substantial regional population. Unlike traditional private practice where on-call demands can be relentless, or academic settings that may require extensive teaching and administrative responsibilities, this position allows you to focus on what you do best—providing exceptional obstetric care while enjoying a structured schedule that respects your personal time.
Your practice will be based in Union Hospital's dedicated OB Emergency Department, where you'll evaluate and manage pregnant patients of all gestational ages once pregnancy is confirmed. As the front-line physician for obstetric emergencies, you'll work within a modern, well-equipped facility alongside an experienced nursing team that takes pride in their clinical skills and patient care. With approximately 4,000 OB ED visits annually, you'll experience a steady flow of diverse cases that will maintain your clinical edge while the 24-hour shift structure provides genuine time away from clinical responsibilities.
Union Hospital serves as the regional hub for obstetric care, with a level three perinatal designation (the highest available outside Indianapolis) and a service area encompassing nine counties with a population of over 300,000. As the primary provider of obstetric care in the region, the hospital performs approximately 1,800 deliveries annually, with the OB ED processing 300-350 patient visits per month. This vital regional service ensures that you'll be making a meaningful difference in maternal care across a substantial area of Indiana.
The OB Hospitalist team works collaboratively with Union's employed OB/GYN group, as well as with family medicine residents who perform a small number of deliveries each month. You'll have the opportunity to serve as a mentor and clinical resource to these residents, enhancing your professional satisfaction while contributing to the education of the next generation of physicians.
This position represents an opportunity to join a thriving OB program with outstanding facilities and support services. The position is being added to ensure continued excellent obstetric emergency coverage while maintaining an optimal work-life balance for the entire physician team.
