Providence Kodiak Island is seeking an OB/GYN to join its community of care givers in Kodiak Island, Alaska. This is an extremely collegial and tight-knit group providing much-needed services to patients all across the area. As such, your work here will have a huge impact on the health and wellbeing of many local (and often quite rural) communities. The work itself involves a mix of inpatient and outpatient care (including maternity care and deliveries) at a facility that houses four birthing suites. Be part of a team that's truly making a difference to women across Alaska.
Where You'll Work
Providence Kodiak Island Medical Center is the sole provider of acute and emergency care for Kodiak Island. Accredited by The Joint Commission and designated as a Level IV trauma center by the State of Alaska, this 25-bed critical-access hospital plays an indispensable role in the lives of 14,000 Kodiak residents, the Coast Guard base and neighboring villages. With a state-of-the-art MRI and 64-slice CT, this hospital receives high marks, and providers are able to offer advanced care.
Where You'll Live
Kodiak is famous for its fishing, huge Kodiak brown bears and lush mountains. The Kodiak Islanders also pride themselves on lesser-known highlights, such as excellent public and private schools, organized youth sports, several churches, museums and dozens of annual community events. The island's tight-knit population of 14,000 is rich in cultural diversity, including Alaska Natives, Asians, Hispanics and Pacific Islanders. Within minutes of the city, you can be beachcombing, hiking in a magnificent forest or salmon fishing in a pristine stream.
