JOB DETAILS “St. Barnabas OBGYN” is a “captive P.C.” of SBH Health System–our clinical staff is employed by the PC or by Union Community Health Center, our sister FQHC. Our department includes 14 full-time OBGYNs, part-time MFMs (with 24/7 coverage), a part-time GYN Oncologist, and 8 experienced midwives and/or mid- level clinicians. Many of us have been at SBH for well over a decade, a testament our dedication to the department and our mission. We are a vibrant and cohesive group. Our clinicians cover the hospital with two physicians every night, holiday, and weekend. On weekdays, a midwife and a physician cover the service. Our practice provides care at three major clinic sites, three smaller “private style” offices, and a number of non-affiliated freestanding ambulatory sites. A significant percentage of our clientele speak Spanish. Translation phones are readily available but Spanish can be very helpful in this community. The traditional schedule for a physician includes four clinical weekdays. One day every other week is covering inhouse patients, consults, and labor and delivery along with a midwife. One day every other week is protected OR time, shared with one or two other attendings. Other days include ambulatory care and/or administrative time. Each month physicians take three in-house weekday overnight calls (with a post-call day off) and one weekend 24 hour shift. Additional call sessions are often available with supplemental compensation. We are joined by CUNY medical students and rotating residents. This model provides logistical support to our clinical staff and patients, as well as educational opportunities and academic inspiration, while also protecting the attendings’ opportunity to fully manage a broad spectrum of surgical opportunities. An alternative hospitalist-style schedule typically including 2~25hr shifts weekly including in house, OR, and smaller degree of ambulatory care responsibilities along with one weekend shift monthly (only one weekday shift that week). In our experience, this schedule has been appropriate for more experienced attendings. We place emphasis on a safe clinical environment, “crew resource management” (team building) and communication, management bundles, as well as patient and provider satisfaction. We take pride in our evidence-based practice and we employ a full-time perinatal safety officer to assure optimal care and education. We provide APS/GNOSIS online education to the entire OB healthcare team; we have weekly case review conferences and a journal club. We maintain ultrasound units in our L&D, fetal testing unit, OR, and ED as well as some of our ambulatory sites. We perform approximately 900-1000 deliveries annually amongst a relatively high-risk OB population; yet we carefully maintain a low cesarean section rate and unparalleled outcomes. We have onsite MFM services (including ultrasound imaging), 24hr anesthesia and neonatology coverage and a level 3a NICU. St. Barnabas Hospital has 5 modern operating suites. We maintain the expertise and resources to provide a broad spectrum of minimally invasive surgery and basic uro-gynecologic procedures. We have a monthly urodynamics clinic and several specialty pelvic floor therapists. We also have on-site gynecologic oncology services including major surgeries. Attending physicians generally perform major surgeries in tandem and on-call is always with another attending, making SBH a great place to expand one's knowledge and experience during the critical years following residency or to establish a lifelong career. A wide variety of cases and volume offer new graduates the opportunity to take oral boards as early as their 1st year in practice. Board pass rate for recent graduates has been 100% for past 5 years.
