OBED Hospitalist

Saint Agnes Medical Providers (SAMP) and Saint Agnes Medical Center (SAMC) have an excellent employment opportunity for a full-time OBED Hospitalist in Fresno, California.

The OB / GYN Hospitalist Services will be comprised of two OB / GYN physicians each providing 24-hour in-hospital coverage. This coverage may include 12-hour or 24-hour shifts, depending on scheduling needs. Specific duties and responsibilities will be assigned to each physician role. By necessity, to meet the patient coverage needs, some of the duties and responsibilities may overlap on any given shift. It is understood that the two physicians will support and back-up each other as needed. OBGYN Hospitalists supervise Family Medicine and Emergency Medicine residents who rotate through the OB / GYN department. Residents have been found to be helpful in supporting the department even as they learn.

Assignment to either the OB 1 (OB ED) role or the OB 2 (OB Hospitalist / GYN) may vary based on scheduling needs during any given scheduling period.

Key Responsibilities (Both Positions)

OB 1 (OB ED)

• Primary responsibility is coverage of the OB Emergency Department.
• Triage all patients who present to the OB ED, including 'unassigned' and 'assigned' patients.

• Continue to provide care and manage 'unassigned' OB patients admitted for labor, other obstetrical indications, or to the antepartum unit through delivery, postpartum, and discharge.
• Assist in cesarean sections for the OB 2 provider and other community OB / GYN physicians.
• Respond to OB Codes or OB Emergencies throughout the hospital, including the Main ED.
