The initial assignment is anticipated to run 36 months or until a permanent physician is hired, with an excellent opportunity to transition into a permanent position if there is mutual interest.

Call Schedule:
Call is home call and shared with another OB/GYN physician.

Credentialing & Start:
The need is ASAP. Hospital credentialing and privileges may be completed within a matter of weeks.
The practice is also willing to consider a phased start, allowing the incoming physician to begin seeing patients as the necessary approvals are completed rather than requiring all payer and clinic credentialing to be finalized before starting.
Why Consider This Opportunity?
This assignment offers a combination that is difficult to find in traditional locum coverage: a four-day clinical/surgical workweek, consistent ongoing coverage, home call, and a legitimate temp-to-permanent pathway.
Physicians interested in remaining long-term will be considered for permanent employment, while those seeking locum coverage can initially commit to the 36 month coverage period.
Interested OB/GYN physicians with an active Alabama license are encouraged to apply with an updated CV for complete schedule, call, compensation, and assignment details.
