This medical center sees about 130 deliveries annually, about 1/3 of which were C-sections. Of those, only 10 were performed outside of business hours. Call is shared on a 1:3 basis and is typically for the newborn nursery or to attend unscheduled C-sections (attendance is not required for most vaginal births). Serious pediatric cases are transferred to the nearest tertiary medical center (only happened 5 times last year) so there are few inpatient pediatric patients (usually fewer than 10/year).You will be employed by the hospital and earn a very competitive salary plus benefits including a cash signing bonus, paid relocation assistance, paid liability insurance, and health, dental, vision and life insurance.
