Maternal Fetal Medicine Physician | Ohio

Emerald Resource Group • Columbus, OH

1d • Onsite

About The Position

The Maternal Fetal Medicine Physician co-manages medically complex pregnancies and translates maternal and fetal findings into clear, actionable care plans for obstetric partners, neonatology, and families. The role includes providing timely consultations, performing and interpreting detailed fetal ultrasound and indicated diagnostic procedures, and coordinating multidisciplinary planning for fetal anomalies. The physician closes each visit with a defined next decision, an owner, and a date, and applies case-review findings to protocol changes and daily practice. The physician also coaches residents, sonographers, or advanced practice clinicians to maintain consult quality across the service.

The physician reports to the MFM medical director or women’s-services physician leader and works within a hospital-based perinatal team that includes obstetric hospitalists, neonatology, obstetric anesthesia, genetic counselors, and dedicated sonographers. Imaging suites, fetal monitoring, and a shared EMR are available, and call is distributed across the MFM group. The physician shapes clinical pathways; capital and staffing budgets are managed by service leadership. The caseload is weighted toward high-risk consultations rather than routine prenatal volume, with shared MFM coverage and a functioning multidisciplinary team.

Requirements

• MD or DO degree.
• Completion of an OB/GYN residency and Maternal-Fetal Medicine fellowship.

• Independent skill in detailed fetal ultrasound and in the diagnostic procedures required by the patient panel.
• Record of co-managing high-risk pregnancies with documented participation in quality or outcomes review.
• Ability to provide clear, calm counseling to families facing uncertain fetal or maternal prognoses.

Responsibilities

• Co-manage medically complex pregnancies, including preeclampsia, diabetes, cardiac conditions, and other high-risk conditions, while meeting service benchmarks for severe morbidity.
• Deliver timely MFM consultations with written plans that referring obstetricians can execute without rework or delayed decisions.
• Perform and interpret detailed fetal ultrasound and indicated diagnostic procedures in line with departmental accuracy and turnaround standards.
• Develop multidisciplinary plans for fetal anomalies, coordinating imaging, genetics, neonatology, and family counseling on a shared timeline.
• Conclude each visit with a next decision, a responsible owner, and a date.
• Use case-review findings to implement protocol changes within the quarter they are identified and maintain those changes in daily practice.
• Coach residents, sonographers, or advanced practice clinicians to sustain consult quality when off service.
• Participate in call coverage distributed across the MFM group.
• Shape clinical pathways and change protocols when case reviews show they are failing patients.
