Are you committed to providing midwifery care to marginalized communities in Boston? Are you interested in joining a diverse group of talented, driven midwives committed to providing exceptional care in a tertiary care center and teaching future generations of birth workers and providers?

The Midwives at Boston Medical Center are looking to hire a per-diem midwife to join our practice and provide inpatient care on labor and delivery, triage, and postpartum.

The midwifery service is a multicultural group of 28 midwives who together speak English, Spanish, Haitian Creole, Cape Verdean Creole, Portuguese, French, Arabic, German, and Thai.

We are committed to holistic and innovative care for birthing people and their families. We have a robust Centering Pregnancy Program, as well as a multi-cultural doula service offering home visiting and labor support (Birth Sisters).

The hospital midwifery service attends approximately 900 births per year in the labor and delivery unit. Midwives also run our busy triage unit during the day, touching the lives of almost all our pregnant and birthing people.

Midwives also provide care to women in four neighborhood health centers, the hospital OB-GYN clinic, and our Adolescent Center to a population that is racially, ethnically, and economically diverse.

The CNM hospital service includes labor and delivery coverage 24 hours / day, a daily post-partum rounding service, and daily coverage of our obstetrical triage unit.

We work in a collaborative model with highly supportive obstetricians, maternal-fetal medicine doctors, and family medicine physicians.

This is a clinical teaching position. Midwives at Boston Medical Center participate in the education of resident physicians, medical students, and midwifery students through clinical supervision throughout clinical care, through didactic lectures, and in the simulation lab.

Interest in teaching and working with diverse teams of people is essential.

We welcome another energetic midwife with a passion for birth, a commitment to serving diverse populations, an interest in teaching, and a team-oriented style.
