Sutter Medical Group (SMG) is seeking a Board?Eligible or Board?Certified Obstetrician?Gynecologist to join Sutter Amador OB/GYN, a close?knit, community?focused practice nestled in the heart of California?s scenic Sierra Foothills.
This is a primarily obstetrics?focused role serving an appreciative and underserved patient population, including an unmet gynecologic population in a rural region where physicians are truly valued. You?ll practice at Sutter Amador Hospital, a well?supported 53?bed rural hospital known for its exceptional labor & delivery nursing team, outstanding patient satisfaction, and a community that genuinely loves and trusts Sutter Health.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Low?acuity OB practice averaging 20-25 deliveries per month
- Supportive, collaborative environment with experienced nursing staff
- Senior care focus with continuity and relationship?based medicine
- Ample resources for a rural setting, including:
- Robotic?assisted surgery capabilities
- Opportunity to grow and shape the GYN surgical program
- Minimal on?site subspecialty services (no NICU, MFM, or Urology), with strong referral relationships to nearby Sutter tertiary care centers
- Excellent work/life balance with predictable volumes and call
Teaching & Professional Fulfillment
For those passionate about education and mentorship, this role offers the chance to participate in graduate medical education, teaching:
- OB/GYN residents
- Family Medicine residents in a rural residency track
Help shape the next generation of physicians while practicing high?quality, patient?centered care.
Call Schedule (1:3 Ratio)
- Weekday Call: Tuesday-Thursday, two weeks per month (6 days total)
- Weekend Call: Friday-Monday, one weekend per month (4 days total)
Total: 10 call days per month
Physicians also rotate 1-2 days per month at Sutter Medical Center Sacramento to maintain clinical skills and tertiary?care exposure.
Live Where Others Vacation
Jackson offers a relaxed, small?town lifestyle with easy access to outdoor recreation, wineries, historic charm, and mountain views-all while being just one hour from Sacramento.
