About The Position

Thundermist Health Center is seeking a Family Medicine physician with obstetrics training to provide continuity-based primary care and obstetric care at a community health center. This is a working physician role, not a fellowship. The physician will manage an assigned primary care panel and provide prenatal, intrapartum, postpartum, routine gynecologic, and newborn care, including following OB patients from their first prenatal visit through delivery at a partner hospital. Care is provided in an integrated, mission-driven FQHC serving more than 65,000 patients across Rhode Island, regardless of insurance status, immigration status, or ability to pay. The position includes full-scope primary care, scheduled after-hours OB call and coverage, teaching and precepting opportunities, and participation in clinical and staff meetings. The role is full-time, 40 or more hours per week, with at least 32 clinical hours on-site. The schedule may include evenings, weekends, and periods of 24-hour call and coverage. Part-time status may be considered by administration. The physician works onsite at Thundermist locations in ambulatory clinical settings and at partner hospitals for labor, delivery, and inpatient obstetric and newborn care. Thundermist supports providers with AI scribes, pharmacy technician refill assistance, prior authorization and referral support, PTO cross-coverage, and nurse triage for after-hours calls.
