Frequently asked questions
Vancouver's demand for Supplemental OB Hospitalist Physicians is growing, driven by expanding maternal-fetal medicine services. While competition exists, candidates with board certification and experience in high-risk obstetrics often find favorable opportunities within Legacy Health and surrounding medical centers.
Practitioners encounter a blend of urban and community healthcare needs, including managing high-risk pregnancies with NICU level IV support. The regional emphasis on bilingual skills and collaboration with midwifery and private OB/GYN practices adds complexity to patient care coordination.
This position demands proficiency in both low- and high-risk pregnancy management including operative vaginal deliveries, cesarean sections, and emergency gynecologic interventions. Unlike outpatient roles, it involves in-house shift coverage and immediate response to inpatient maternal-fetal needs.
Beyond supplemental coverage, Legacy Health offers potential advancement through integration with maternal-fetal medicine teams and academic collaboration. Physicians can expand expertise in high-risk obstetrics, engage in teaching residents, and explore roles across multiple hospital sites.
Legacy Health structures this position with in-house 12- or 24-hour shifts and designated call rooms, minimizing on-call ambiguity. The supplemental nature allows flexibility without outpatient clinic duties, fostering manageable scheduling for hospitalist physicians.
Physicians are expected to collaborate closely with maternal-fetal medicine providers, certified nurse-midwives, and anesthesia teams 24/7. This interprofessional approach supports comprehensive care for complex obstetric cases and emergency gynecological consults within Legacy's facilities.
The current pay rate is set at $200 per hour for this limited-duration supplemental role. This figure aligns with fair market value for hospitalist physicians managing high-acuity obstetrical care in the Pacific Northwest region.
Yes, candidates must hold an unrestricted medical license valid in both Oregon and Washington, reflecting the possibility of coverage across multiple Legacy Health locations in the region.
By providing expert inpatient obstetric care, supporting high-risk pregnancy management, and assisting in emergency gynecological cases, these physicians directly enhance patient outcomes and uphold Legacy Health’s commitment to compassionate, state-of-the-art care.
