Job description
Seeking an Ob/Gyn physician to join a busy, community-based practice with a full scope of women’s health services.
Responsibilities include managing low- and high-risk pregnancies, providing pre- and postnatal care, and offering services such as gynecology, birth control, and minimally invasive treatments. Labor and delivery are conducted exclusively at the local Birth Center.
The role involves collaborating with a team of Ob/Gyns, advanced providers, and midwives, with a manageable call schedule and office hours Monday through Friday.
The position offers a clinical academic appointment, outpatient EMR (EPIC), inpatient Cerner systems, and a comprehensive benefits package.
Qualifications include an MD or equivalent, BC or BE in Ob/Gyn, and ability to obtain PA licensure. J1 and H1B visa sponsorship are available.
Key perks include a $425K base salary, incentive bonuses, occurrence-based malpractice, relocation assistance, CME allowance, and 30 days of PTO plus holidays.
Ideal candidates are committed to patient-centered care in a family-oriented community with excellent schools and recreational activities, with easy access to larger cities.
Visa sponsorship record
No public sponsorship records foundWe didn't find H-1B, H-1B1, E-3 or green card (PERM) filings under the name Massachusetts Health & Hospital Association in the Department of Labor and USCIS data. That doesn't mean the job can't be sponsored — the company may file under a different legal name, be new to sponsorship, or sponsor a visa that isn't in these datasets (for example H-2B or J-1).
Tip: ask the recruiter early, in writing, which visa they sponsor and whether they cover the legal and filing fees.
Which visas can work for this job
Occupation: Obstetricians And Gynecologists (SOC 29-1218).
- Mentioned in the listing
H-1B
- H-1B cap-exempt employer
Regular cap-subject employer — a new H-1B needs to win the lottery in March (unless you already hold cap-counted H-1B status).
- TN (citizens of Canada and Mexico)
This kind of role may fit the USMCA profession “Physician (teaching or research only)” — it depends on the actual duties. No lottery, no cap; you need the matching degree or license.
- E-3 (Australia) and H-1B1 (Chile, Singapore)
Same degree requirement as H-1B, but no lottery and a separate quota that is rarely filled.
- O-1 (extraordinary ability)
For candidates with awards, publications, press, a high salary or critical roles at distinguished organizations. No cap, no lottery; the employer files a petition.
Salary vs prevailing wage
Level IV (fully competent)Obstetricians And Gynecologists · Pennsylvania (state median of areas). Annual prevailing wages set by the Department of Labor (OFLC).
| Level | Prevailing wage | H-1B lottery odds* |
|---|---|---|
| Level I | $190,154 | ~15% |
| Level II | $236,974 | ~31% |
| Level III | $283,774 | ~46% |
| Level IV | $330,595 | ~61% |
This job pays $425,000 a year — that's Level IV (fully competent). In the wage-weighted H-1B lottery a Level IV registration gets 4 entries; estimated selection chance about 61% — better than average.
* Odds are DHS projections for the FY2027 wage-weighted lottery (actual results vary by year and employer). Since the FY2027 cap season the H-1B lottery is weighted by wage level: Level I = 1 entry, II = 2, III = 3, IV = 4. The level is set by the offered wage against the prevailing wage for the occupation and worksite. Separately, a $100,000 fee for new H-1B petitions for workers outside the US was announced in 2025; as of September 2026 a federal court ruling keeps it unenforceable while appeals continue — check the current status.
