Job description
A facility in Colorado needs locum tenens coverage for an OB/GYN who works weekday clinic and takes second call behind the midwives. It's a good fit if you want OB work without first call.
About the Assignment
- Schedule: You'll cover 7 to 10 days a month in a block that combines weekday clinic with 24-hour call. Your recruiter can share how the block is scheduled.
- Care model: First call goes to the midwives, who handle most deliveries, so callbacks to you are infrequent.
- Case mix: You'll handle C-sections, high-risk obstetrics, postoperative care, and consults. The role doesn't include any scheduled surgeries.
- Requirements: You'll need to be board certified or board eligible in OB/GYN, with a Colorado license or eligibility for the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact. Credentialing usually takes 30 to 60 days.
- Covered by Interim: Travel and lodging, malpractice insurance, and a clinician portal for timesheets and assignment details.
Location and Lifestyle
Colorado is known for its mountains, and both the high country and the open plains to the east get plenty of sunshine through the year. On your days off, you can ski in the winter or camp at one of Colorado's state parks in the warmer months. Craft brewing runs deep here, and local breweries are easy to find across the state.
About Interim Physicians
Ken Teufel, MD, founded Interim Physicians in 1979 after selling his solo family practice in small-town Texas to cover for physicians who couldn't get away. As medical director for 42 years, he was one of the founding figures of locum tenens, and his standards still decide which clinicians Interim presents.
Interim staff members average 14 years with the company, so the recruiter who places a clinician is the same one who calls about the next assignment. Clinicians and facility clients have rated Interim 9 or 10 out of 10 often enough to earn ClearlyRated's Best of Staffing Diamond award.
