OB Anesthesiologist – Fort Worth, TX

Sound Physicians, Inc. • Fort Worth, TX, United States • $200k - $250k / year • 2w ago

To our prospective teammates,

I’m the OB medical director for John Peter Smith Hospital located in Fort Worth, TX. I’ve been a part of Sound Medical Group for three years. I’m proud of the anesthesia practice we’ve built and welcome interest from physicians coming out of training or looking to make a career change. I want to share more about who we are and what we do — specifically about our people, practice, and purpose— as you consider your options:

People

We’re a closely knit, established team of 20 physicians and 57 CRNAs; 4 physicians being dedicated OB fellowship trained Anesthesiologists.
We are seeking a physician who has completed an OB Anesthesia Fellowship or has extensive high-risk OB experience.
This position will be dedicated to obstetric anesthesia work—no non-OB coverage during OB shifts. Additional Main OR coverage can be added for additional compensation outside of OB shifts.
Our team comprises clinicians from diverse geographic, educational, and training backgrounds who lean on and learn from each other in their approach to patient care.
We work closely with our CRNA colleagues within the hospital to provide the best anesthesia care possible for the Fort Worth community.
Fort Worth is the small-city feel in a big-city environment. We pride ourselves on not being Dallas, but a laid-back true to Texas small city. We are a great place to live and raise a family with safe schools and neighborhoods with great restaurants and museums.

Practice

The hospital is a level I trauma center with high-risk OB and Cardiothoracic cases. It offers 13 busy ORs, IR cases with critical patients in the EP lab, and GI and OB.
We have dedicated specialty chiefs to cover OB, Trauma, and Cardiac.
We are certified as Maternal Levels of Care Level IV – with a large high-risk population, necessitating that we provide 24-hour coverage with OB-trained anesthesiologists
Our delivery volumes have consistently increased in the past 3 years, currently at 4000+/year
We are a very active OB service – providing critical peripartum services to our patient population which includes a high-risk consult service, multi-disciplinary coordination of care, active PAS (placenta accreta spectrum) service, participation in multi-disciplinary safety drills, and providing lectures to the OB residents regularly
We work in EPIC, with access to our own internal informatics platform.
Yearly compensation is guaranteed at $500,000 + a $25,000 quality bonus incentive.
The schedule will be a workload of (7) 24-hour shifts in the OB unit (or equivalent 12-hour shifts) in a 4-week period.
Benefits include medical, dental, vision, life and AD&D insurance, long- and short-term disability, 401k with match, paid medical malpractice and tail coverage, and annual CME allowance.
Our retention rate is high, and we work collaboratively within our team to ensure coverage for time off.

Purpose

We put patients first. Always.
We value and support growth and development in our hospital medicine practice, allowing you to explore new opportunities locally and within the broader medical group.
We’re a community-minded team and support involvement and contributions to community health and wellness in and out of the hospital.

At more than 100 years old JPS continues to innovate while serving the needs of Patients in and around Ft. Worth as the only Level 1 Trauma Center certified in stroke, heart attack, sepsis & delirium care. More than a million patients per year trust the Physicians at JPS to care for themselves and their families.
