About The Position

Sutter Medical Group is seeking a board-eligible or board-certified Obstetrician-Gynecologist to join Sutter Amador OB/GYN in Jackson, California. This primarily obstetrics-focused position serves a rural, underserved population and offers continuity-based care in a community-focused practice. The physician will practice at Sutter Amador Hospital, a 53-bed rural hospital with an experienced labor and delivery nursing team. The practice averages 20–25 deliveries per month and has robotic-assisted surgery capabilities, with the opportunity to help grow and shape its gynecologic surgical program. On-site subspecialty services are limited, including no NICU, maternal-fetal medicine, or urology; referral relationships with nearby Sutter tertiary care centers support patient care.

Physicians also rotate one to two days per month at Sutter Medical Center Sacramento to maintain clinical skills and gain tertiary-care exposure. Physicians interested in education may participate in graduate medical education by teaching OB/GYN residents and Family Medicine residents in a rural residency track.
