Baptist Health System, part of Tenet Healthcare, is adding a Maternal-Fetal Medicine physician to its employed Acacia OB/GYN group in San Antonio, Texas. This is a consultative MFM role with no delivery obligation. You join an established group with an existing referral base, so the practice ramps quickly rather than starting from zero.
The role is built around supporting OB/GYNs across the Baptist network with high-risk maternal care, while keeping a manageable, predictable schedule. You manage consults and ongoing high-risk care; the referring OB remains the primary delivering provider.
Setting: Hospital employed, Acacia OB/GYN group
Practice Model: Consultative MFM, no deliveries
Hospitals Covered: Two on call, North Central Baptist and St. Luke's with selective rounding
Clinic Location Options: North Central or Mission Trail area
Schedule: Primarily clinic based
Call: 1:3 rotation, Friday to Friday (consultative only on nights and weekends; no rounding or inpatient responsibilities)
EMR: Athena
Flexibility: Full time or part time (3 to 4 days per week) can be accommodated
Baptist is building its own employed MFM group to support a large and growing OB base across the system. Demand already exists: from January through May, the group's two current MFMs received 92 referrals from just two referring OB/GYNs. A new physician steps into that demand rather than building it.
The system runs OB/GYN programs across multiple hospitals, plus a wide network of OB/GYN and primary care clinics. Adding MFM capacity expands access for referring physicians and reduces patient travel across the metro.
There is room for a second MFM at the North Central Acacia OB/GYN practice, where referrals are already backlogged. A competitor MFM group at North Central Baptist is now HCA-employed with roughly one year left on its hospital contract, and the expectation is that this will open additional referral patterns for the Baptist group.
The practice is primarily clinic based, roughly 4.5 days per week at full time, with part-time arrangements of 3 to 4 days per week available. Call will run on a 1:3 rotation, Friday to Friday, shared between the two current MFM physicians, with the incoming physician joining the rotation. Daytime call is site-specific, covering your own panel, while evenings and weekends are shared across the group during your call week. The group prioritizes reducing drive time between sites and keeping providers planted in a primary location rather than rotating across the city.
