* Obstetrics Support: Care for our 12-bed Family Birthing Center, which manages
approximately 600 deliveries per year.

endoscopy cases per day.

* Schedule & Call: Standard full-time hours are Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM
– 5:00 PM. Shared call coverage is a highly manageable 1:5, with CRNAs
taking first call and physicians providing backup. Call totals up to 6 days
