Job Description:

Obstetrics and Gynecology - Physician at IPHCA-Chicago - Illinois Primary Health Care Association summary: The Obstetrician/Gynecologist provides primary and comprehensive women's healthcare services at a community-based health center serving underserved populations. Responsibilities include outpatient consultations, inpatient care, collaboration with nurse-midwifery services, and participation in quality assurance and health education programs. The role requires board certification, bilingual English/Spanish skills, and experience in a community health setting. Client Overview This health center opened its doors to an eagerly awaiting community on January 4, 1989. On that day, the vision to create a community-based health center, responsive and culturally sensitive to many of Chicago’s most underserved and vulnerable communities, was finally realized. The Chicago neighborhoods of Pilsen, Little Village and Back of the Yards have been significant points of entry for immigrants and remain the home to a growing Mexican immigrant population in addition to an expanding community of Mexican Americans. Today, they serve families and individuals who historically have had limited access to healthcare for many reasons including: language and cultural barriers, intimidation of traditional healthcare institutions, limited awareness of available resources and/or fear of seeking help due to immigration status. Consequently, health promotion, education and prevention are integral parts of our comprehensive programs.
