Job Description

Nemours Children's Hospital, Delaware is seeking a well-qualified Obstetrician to join the Institute for Maternal Fetal Health in Wilmington, Delaware. Our program provides highly specialized maternal-fetal care, fetal intervention services, and delivery management for pregnancies complicated by fetal congenital anomalies and other complex conditions. This program is strategically prioritized by the organization, with strong executive support and investment.

The Advanced Delivery Unit (ADU) operates on a 24/7 Laborist model, supported by in-house anesthesia coverage, a dedicated NICU delivery team, Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialists, and extensive pediatric subspecialties. Every member of our team is committed to delivering individualized, compassionate care while maintaining the highest standards of patient safety and evidence-based practice.

Experienced obstetricians are encouraged to apply!

Highlights

  • Expanding program with plans to increase to two Laborists on duty 24/7 to support continued growth
  • Predictable shift-based schedule
  • Full time, part time, and casual positions available
  • Focused obstetrical practice with no pediatric gynecology responsibilities, limited ED consultation
  • Rare opportunity to care for a unique and rewarding patient population
  • Emphasis on psychosocial support for patients and families and multidisciplinary team wellness
  • Collegial, mission-driven culture
  • Generous paid time off

Community Highlights

  • Delaware has three distinctly different regions, each with its own style, character, and wide range of possibilities. The First State is the kind of destination that delivers the excitement of a sun-splashed beach oasis or the quiet joys of a countryside vineyard.
  • Wilmington is a beautiful city filled with lights and garden paths.  From the Hagley Museum along the Brandywine River to the Nemours Estate, which is built to look like Versailles, the history, dining, decorative arts and scenic gardens are a sight to behold.

Nemours offers a competitive salary and extensive benefits package that includes quality-based bonus incentives, relocation allowance, life insurance, comprehensive health, dental and vision coverage, CME and board maintenance allowances, retirement plan with employer matching and an additional 457B retirement savings plan, educational allowance, paid licensure and malpractice fees, and professional membership dues allowance.
