About the Role

Are you a Family Medicine physician with obstetrics training who wants to practice the full breadth of your skillset — primary care and OB under one roof? Thundermist Health Center is seeking a Family Medicine Obstetric Physician to join our team, delivering continuity-based primary care while providing prenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum care to patients across the childbearing spectrum. You'll manage your own primary care panel, follow your OB patients from first prenatal visit through delivery at our partner hospital, and provide newborn care — all within an integrated, mission-driven community health center. This is a working physician role (not a fellowship) at a multi-site FQHC serving over 65,000 patients across Rhode Island, and we're committed to delivering care regardless of insurance status, immigration status, or ability to pay.

What You'll Do

Primary Care

Provide full-scope primary medical care to an assigned patient panel including preventive, acute, and chronic disease management
Perform comprehensive health histories, physical examinations, and diagnostic assessments; order, interpret, and follow up on labs, imaging, and testing
Prescribe medications, including controlled substances, within scope of practice
Coordinate referred services including specialty care, pharmacy, laboratory, and ancillary services

Obstetric & Newborn Care

Deliver prenatal care, postpartum care, and routine gynecologic services for low and moderate risk pregnancies
Provide intrapartum (labor and delivery) coverage and newborn care at Thundermist's partner hospital(s)
Manage after-hours OB call and coverage for Thundermist and community-based patients
Candidates with surgical experience — whether as primary or assistant surgeon — will be considered

Teaching & Collaboration

Teach and train residents as assigned by Thundermist
Precept physician residents or nurse practitioners as opportunities arise
Participate in departmental, team, and full staff meetings to review and develop clinical goals, policies, and procedures

What We're Looking For

You're a Family Medicine physician who trained in obstetrics because you believe continuity of care should extend from the exam room to the delivery room. You're clinically versatile, mission-driven, and energized by the idea of practicing full-scope FM with OB at a community health center.

Required

M.D. or D.O. with a completed three-year (minimum) residency in Family Medicine with obstetrics training/experience
Board Certification in Family Medicine (ABFM or ACOFP) within two years of start of employment
Full, unrestricted license to practice medicine as a physician in Rhode Island
Ability to obtain and maintain hospital admitting, delivery, and attending privileges at Thundermist's partner hospital(s)
Current BLS, NRP (Neonatal Resuscitation Program), ACLS, and ALSO (Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics) certification
Exceptional oral and written communication skills with proficiency in applicable medical terminology
Demonstrated commitment to patient-centered care for diverse and underserved populations, with an authentic passion for health equity and community health

Preferred

Bilingual capacity in Spanish or Portuguese is a plus

Compensation & Provider Support

Competitive compensation and benefits including: malpractice coverage through the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA); health, dental, and vision insurance; retirement plan with employer match; generous PTO and CME allowance; eligibility for NHSC and state loan repayment programs. Thundermist is committed to provider wellness and is an AMA Joy in Medicine practice site — you'll be supported by AI scribes, pharmacy technician refill assistance, prior authorization and referral support, cross-coverage support for PTO, and a nurse triage service as the first line for after-hours calls.

Schedule & Location

Full-time (40+ hours/week), benefit-eligible. A minimum of 32 clinical hours on-site with after-hours call and coverage as scheduled, including labor and delivery call coverage at the partner hospital. Work schedule will involve some evenings and weekends, and periods of 24-hour call and coverage. Part-time status may be considered by administration.
