If you're looking for a practice model that allows you to focus on inpatient and procedural obstetrics without clinic or GYN responsibilities, this is an opportunity to build a rewarding career while enjoying a schedule designed to support work-life balance.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Your Practice
Join an established Laborist team at Baptist Health Lexington and provide dedicated inpatient obstetric care in a collaborative hospital environment.
This is an OB-only, inpatient and procedural practice, allowing you to focus your time and expertise on the patients and procedures that matter most.
Your practice will include:
No GYN. No clinic. No ambulatory responsibilities.
The schedule is designed around shift-based coverage, providing meaningful time away from the hospital between shifts.
A 1.0 FTE physician position includes 1,800 clinical hours annually, providing flexibility in how those hours are scheduled. This is equivalent to approximately 150 twelve-hour shifts or 75 twenty-four-hour shifts per year, with the option to combine 12- and 24-hour shifts based on physician preference and scheduling needs.
