Exceptional obstetric care. A collaborative team. The strength of Mass General Brigham.
Mass General Brigham is seeking a per diem OB/GYN Laborist to join our team at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in Dover, New Hampshire.
This is an exceptional opportunity for an obstetrician who enjoys the practice of inpatient obstetrics, values teamwork, and wants to play a meaningful role in advancing the safety and quality of maternity care.
As part of Mass General Brigham — home to Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital — our clinicians benefit from connections to one of the nation’s most respected networks of academic medicine, specialty expertise, and clinical innovation.
Our Laborist program combines the professional rewards of practicing in a thriving community hospital with the clinical resources, collaboration, and professional development opportunities of a nationally recognized academic healthcare system.
About the Opportunity
Wentworth-Douglass Hospital serves families throughout the New Hampshire Seacoast, providing comprehensive maternity care with approximately 1,900 deliveries annually. We are building a strong, sustainable model of inpatient obstetric care — one that emphasizes clinical excellence, reliable systems of care, multidisciplinary teamwork, and physician well-being. This is an opportunity not simply to join an established clinical team, but to help shape the continued development of obstetric care at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital. As a per diem Laborist, you will work alongside experienced OB/GYN physicians, certified nurse-midwives, nurses, anesthesiologists, neonatal clinicians, and advanced practice providers, all committed to delivering safe, compassionate, evidence-based care.

● Provide comprehensive inpatient obstetric care, including labor management, vaginal and cesarean delivery, and management of obstetric emergencies.
● Evaluate and manage patients presenting to obstetric triage.
● Collaborate closely with community OB/GYN physicians and certified nurse-midwives.
● Provide inpatient gynecologic consultation and management as needed.
● Participate in multidisciplinary quality improvement and patient safety initiatives.
● Contribute to the development and refinement of clinical protocols and systems that support safe, reliable obstetric care.
