Staff Physician ( Various Memorial Hermann locations) - Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences, McGovern Medical School (Finance)
Position Key Accountabilities:
The Ob/Gyn Hospitalist Division within McGovern Medical School is a rapidly expanding program that provides direct patient care at multiple sites within the Memorial Hermann healthcare system. The program offers a variety of services that include patient evaluations within the OB Emergency Department, obstetrical management of unassigned L&D patients, GYN care for unassigned patients who present to the ER and need consultation or management, private OB call coverage and L&D support, surgical assistance, and OB emergency rapid response. We take great pride in elevating the standard of care for women within our facilities and improving safety and clinical outcomes.
Our physicians work independently at some sites while supervising medical students, residents, fellows, and physician assistants or nurse practitioners at others……. Our affiliation with McGovern Medical School ensures we have state-of-the-art care capabilities and readily available sub-specialty support when needed. Our facilities range from relatively low volume and low acuity to high volume and high acuity sites, and shifts typically span 12-24 hours. Our physicians are trained to skillfully manage a variety of OB and GYN emergencies while participating in clinical research. Physicians are also encouraged to be active members within the Society of Ob/Gyn Hospitalists. Furthermore, they can also manage some patients in an outpatient clinic setting with GYN surgery opportunities.
Our physicians also have the unique opportunity to assist in training our Ob/Gyn Hospitalist Fellows. This program offers both one- and two-year clinical tracks and its goal is to produce highly qualified, future Ob/Gyn Hospitalists who can help promote and develop this growing area of specialized care and focused practice as well as assist physicians who might be at a point of indecision or transition with regards to their careers, future training, or employment.
