Position Overview

Understanding the Role

Baylor Scott & White Medical Center in Waxahachie is recruiting a board-certified or board-eligible OB/GYN to join an established, hospital-employed women's health practice. This is an addition to the group, not a replacement, driven by significant patient access demand across the service line. The practice is currently booked six months out, and new obstetric patients need appointments within six to eight weeks. The incoming physician will step into a ready-built patient base.

The position offers broad clinical scope. Providers shape their practice around personal interests, with options to develop a heavier OB focus, lean more gynecologic, or maintain a balanced mix. The group values team orientation and collaboration, both within the physician group and across the full support staff.

Practice Snapshot

Schedule Structure

During the guarantee period (Year 1), the physician works five days per week in the clinic, with time blocked for surgical cases and hospital coverage. Once transitioned to the production model, the schedule becomes provider-directed.

• Most physicians work 3 to 4 clinic days per week at steady state
• Some providers protect one full day off; others split a day between morning surgery and afternoon admin
• Surgical blocks are available every other Monday and select Tuesdays
• Flexible scheduling is built around productivity goals, not a fixed template

Call Model

The practice operates with a hospitalist group that has been in place for three to four years. This structure substantially reduces overnight and emergency call burden for employed physicians.

• Hospitalists cover walk-ins and after-hours medically indicated cases
• Physicians remain responsible for their own elective inductions and elected cases
• Backup call is shared across all OBs serving the hospital: approximately 1 weekend in 8
• Backup call is assigned as full weekends rather than scattered nights
• After-hours calls from patients are triaged by a dedicated RN triage service before reaching the physician

Qualifications

• Board-certified or board-eligible in Obstetrics and Gynecology
• Open to new graduates and experienced physicians
• Interest in participating in Family Medicine resident education preferred
• Collaborative practice style; comfort working within a team-based model

Community and Logistics

Waxahachie sits approximately 30 miles south of Dallas along I-35E. The community has grown steadily, and new residential development continues to drive demand for women's health services. Physicians are required to be within 30 minutes of the hospital. Communities like Red Oak, Midlothian, and Waxahachie itself offer proximity without the traffic of the DFW core.
