As OB/GYNs and maternal health clinicians, you have the privilege of touching so many lives. You have the rare opportunity to usher new life into the world. At Ob Hospitalist Group (OBHG), we believe in a future where every pregnancy is met with unparalleled expertise, compassion, and support. Imagine the possibilities when you have time to focus exclusively on patient care, the ability to travel and launch new programs across the country, serve women in underserved communities, and still have a meaningful career.
OBHG provides new full or part-time career paths for clinicians seeking better-balanced careers. OBHG offers more — more control over your time, more time with loved ones, more time to focus on the women and babies that need you most.
It can be strenuous juggling so much responsibility: trying to serve patients in the office as well as those laboring at the hospital, managing office staff, dealing with ever-changing regulations, rushing to attend (but sometimes missing) family events, or being woken up at 3:00 a.m. to make urgent clinical decisions.
Setting the standard
OBHG began with a vision of elevating the standard of women’s healthcare by ensuring that every expectant mother would be evaluated by a skilled clinician when presenting to the hospital. For nearly 20 years, we’ve held our place as the largest OB/GYN hospitalist employer in the nation. Our commitment to improving patient safety and healthcare quality is creating an incredible
demand for our services. As OBHG continues to grow, so does our need to fill clinical positions across the country.
Our clinicians are part of a team of passionate professionals working together to ensure that the program meets both OBHG’s and the partner hospital’s operational goals.
One team. One mission.
Passion for people
We place genuine concern and compassion for people at the heart of every decision and every action.
Delivering excellence
We remain steadfast and united in our pursuit of the highest achievable standards of quality and professionalism in every aspect of our lifesaving, life-changing enterprise.
Genuine service
We serve intentionally, sincerely and joyfully with humility. We are sensitive to one another’s needs, and every individual is extended grace and kindness, regardless of circumstance.
Principled leadership
We embrace our leadership position, relying upon clear and uncompromised values, principles and honor to direct our paths. We utilize our knowledge, talents and experience to be good stewards of the responsibility with which we all have been entrusted.
Uncompromised integrity
Our actions and words reflect our strong moral and ethical character.
While on shift, you have one singular focus –your patients
Combat disparity of care by ensuring that all women presenting to the hospital with an OB complaint are evaluated by a highly skilled clinician rather than funneled through the conventional nurse-led phone triage. Ensure women in underserved communities have access to the care they deserve.
Achieve better balance in your personal and professional life all while maintaining a stimulating range of clinical care. Traditional OBHG hospitalist positions offer attractive compensation, the flexibility to create your own schedule, and freedom from on-call duty.
We also offer paid medical malpractice insurance with tail, continuing medical education, leadership training and advancement opportunities, unmatched physician support and resources, full benefits, and a lifestyle that works!
OB Hospitalist Programs
As a clinician at one of our OB hospitalist programs, you’ll be in the hospital 24/7 to perform real-time triage on every patient entering the labor and delivery unit or obstetric emergency department (OBED). Your presence will reduce delays in emergency OB/GYN care, improve outcomes, increase patient satisfaction and support community clinicians.
Maternal Health Access Solutions Programs
As a clinician at one of our Maternal Health Access Solutions programs, you’ll serve in a full-scope role supporting hospitals with call coverage, clinic coverage or backup assistance. Your presence will help patients remain in the community, improve outcomes and support staff and community providers.
A rapidly growing national footprint
OBHG leads the industry in developing and managing hospital obstetric emergency departments and fills the gap for women’s care in underserved communities with Maternal Health Access Solutions.
As the largest employer of OB hospitalists in the nation, we are constantly adding new part-time, full-time and leadership positions across the United States for both traditional hospitalist roles and community based hospital/clinic roles. At OBHG, you have endless possibilities

You have one singular focus, unlike private practice. You are really just there to take care of your patients, so you can focus on that. You don’t have other distractions. I really feel like I can focus on my patients. You won’t be taking patient phone calls, you won’t be responding to emails, so you’ll be able to take that time and spend with your patients.

Certified Nurse-Midwives: A bedside partnership
A trusted fixture in homes for decades, nursemidwives attended home births well into the 1950s, mostly for women who could not afford hospital care.
Decision-makers at urban teaching hospitals finally recognized midwife contributions to quality care when they addressed post-war “baby boom” capacity by adding midwifery services to their obstetrics departments. As of 2020, midwives are attending 15.9% of vaginal births and 10.3% of all births in the United States (American College of Nurse-Midwives, 2022).
Because we believe every patient is best served by a team of caregivers, OBHG offers attractive career opportunities for experienced, dedicated CNMs. Our hospital-based CNMs can focus solely on providing patient care. They can enjoy having more time to connect with patients and their families and the flexibility to create their own schedules.

Strengthening your residency programs
A proven partnership
OBHG has a vested interest in improving the skills of present and future clinicians. That’s why we work with our hospital partners to offer their residents one-on-one mentoring and enhanced training opportunities in evidence-based best practices. Whenever possible, our hospitalists involve family practice, emergency medicine and OB/GYN residents in each delivery they attend.
Our teams provide additional onsite supervision as needed and help facilitate communication and understanding between residents and their faculty
advisors. OBHG hospitalists coach residents in disease prevention, public health maintenance, and demonstrate skills such as effective interaction with patients and their families. They impart the importance of patient safety, continuity of care, communication, and collaboration across clinical disciplines. OBHG hospitalists also provide informal training to nurses and other mid-level practitioners in our partner hospitals. Our ultimate goal is to help resident physicians gain the clinical knowledge they will need to provide outstanding obstetrical care within a professional, safe, and team-based culture.

I spent three to four months of the year not doing a whole lot of activities. I was not able to enjoy the outdoors and was not able to just enjoy my family. Moving to Florida took away those dreary days. My seasonal affective disorder is completely gone. I wear flip-flops every day. I love it.

Improving patient safety every day
OBHG recognizes that communication is paramount in maintaining and improving hospital patient safety. The entire care team must commit to an organization-wide culture of safety.
That’s why we established SAFE, a collaborative initiative focusing on patient safety and quality of care, outcomes-based metric collection and analysis, dissemination of best practices and expedited issue management via our SAFE Hotline.
OBHG clinicians receive SAFE education and work closely with OBHG’s Risk Management and Quality teams to implement SAFE elements that are customized to each hospital. Incorporating the SAFE program across OBHG’s clinician base and hospital partner network has resulted in reduced risk and improved outcomes for both hospitals and clinicians.
Ob Hospitalist Group cares
OBHG clinicians have each other’s backs. Because life as an OB/GYN brings incredible joy and fulfillment – but also pain and loss.
The CARE program (Clinician Assistance, Recovery and Encouragement) is a unique program that provides confidential peer-to-peer support following a difficult case or outcome.
The CARE team is made up of OBHG clinicians who have devoted their lives to quality patient care and can identify with the challenges clinicians face. Trained in crisis support and stress management, CAREgivers provide one-on-one assistance in whatever capacity is most helpful — whether it’s a friendly shoulder, an attentive ear or a message of encouragement.
