OBGYN

Join Ob Hospitalist Group (OBHG) in our mission to care for women in underserved communities through Maternal Health Access Solutions (MHAS). MHAS clinicians make quality care close to home possible for obstetrics and gynecology patients who have limited or no access to OB / GYN care. In these clinical roles, you can work at a hospital clinic, provide on-call hospital coverage and other services to women who need your care. The schedule is flexible, and stipends are offered for expenses.
