This is an academic position with a reputable medical school and post-doctoral training programs. This is an 800-bed teaching hospital, Level I Trauma Center, 50-bed Level III NICU, and an OBGYN residency program. The current Division Head has stepped down and is going into phased retirement, so they are recruiting a Division Head candidate as well as a Junior-Mid level MFM physician. There is a huge medical need and have a draw area of nearly 30 counties! They have future plans of developing a MFM fellowship program, so this would be a project taken on by the Division Head position. You can enjoy only covering one medical center with a balanced quality of life, as they are only on call approximately 2-3 shifts/month! This University Hospital has state-of-the-art facilities, Cancer Center, Spine Center, and has all the latest technology including gamma knife and robotic surgery. The group has a regional high risk pregnancy clinic supported by the state, a strong fetal diagnosis unit which is in the process of developing a First Trimester Diagnosis Program. You may take a clinical or tenure track, depending on your career goals.
You will enjoy living in this growing, family-oriented city...just 30 minutes from the Bay leading out to the Outer Banks! You can have the best of both worlds- have access to all the amenities you would living in a big city - but enjoy living in a smaller city with access to shopping, malls/department stores, dining, college sports, outdoor activities, the intercoastal waterway/beaches, and tons of other amenities! Plus, you can live in a place that is safe to raise a family, have access to good public/private school systems, and work in an excellent medical community where you are respected as a pillar in the community!

Hospitals in rural areas of the country are feeling the most impact of the primary care physician shortage. This shortage is happening not only due to a smaller salary, but also due to the study track of many medical schools. The curriculum has been gearing its students toward certain specialites as of late. Some schools, however are beginning to change requirements in order to create more primary care physicians out of the students they already have.
