An important clinical anchor of our maternal health service line—bringing safe delivery, cesarean capability, and women’s health care to a region that has long gone without them.

• Clinical care: Provide full-scope obstetric care—prenatal risk screening and ultrasound (dating, growth, position, placental location, amniotic fluid), management of selected high-risk pregnancies (hypertensive disorders, gestational diabetes, multiple gestation), labor and delivery with fetal monitoring and pain management, and immediate postpartum stabilization. Perform scheduled and emergency cesarean sections, manage obstetric hemorrhage, including surgical management when needed, and support VBAC and repeat cesarean. Provide outpatient gynecology: cervical cancer screening (VIA/VILI, colposcopy, biopsy, Pap), thermal and chemical ablation and LEEP/LLETZ, family planning (IUD and implant placement and removal), endometrial biopsy, Bartholin and minor vulvar procedures, manual vacuum aspiration, and dilation and curettage—plus selected major gynecologic surgery within defined scope.

• Program development: Help build the maternity service line from the ground up—authoring evidence-based protocols and bundled order sets for obstetric emergencies (severe preeclampsia, obstetric hemorrhage, shoulder dystocia, preterm labor and PPROM, fetal intolerance to labor), assembling the obstetric hemorrhage cart, establishing nursing triage protocols, coordinating referral and transport pathways with tertiary centers in San Pedro Sula, planning blood availability, and supporting credentialing, core measures, and morbidity-and-mortality review.

• Teaching & mentorship: Precept Honduran and expatriate physicians and learners, help lead ALSO and NRP training, run fetal-monitoring strip rounds and scheduled obstetric didactics and case conferences, and help lay the groundwork for formal training programs and a regional teaching site.

• Qualifications: Board-certified with strong cesarean and obstetric-emergency competence, facility with obstetric ultrasound, and comfort practicing safely within a defined, resource-appropriate scope.

• Who thrives here: A surgeon-clinician energized by building safe systems where few exist, who holds high standards with humility and is drawn to caring for vulnerable mothers as an expression of Christ-centered service.

• Current team:  Join a current medical team composed of one family medicine-obstetrics physician (FM-OB), two family medicine physicians, two pediatricians, a family nurse practitioner, and a registered nurse.  

Support model:  This is an unpaid missionary appointment. The individual will raise support and must be sent and overseen by a recognized sending agency that provides both support for each missionary and ongoing member care.

Attend high-risk deliveries, help run the preterm/term follow-up clinic, and provide pediatric counseling during high-risk antenatal visits.

• Program development: Help build the outpatient continuum of care and emergency triage protocols, develop standing orders and standardized guidelines for low-acuity and non-emergent conditions, and establish core measures, credentialing, and quality systems.

• Qualifications: Board-certified; obstetric and delivery experience strongly preferred; emergency and inpatient competence; and the adaptability and broad skill set that rural, resource-appropriate practice requires.

• Who thrives here: A generalist who genuinely enjoys variety and ambiguity, is comfortable being the right person for many different needs, and finds joy in strengthening a whole system rather than a single specialty.

• Current team:  Join a current medical team composed of one family medicine-obstetrics physician (FM-OB), two family medicine physicians, two pediatricians, a family nurse practitioner, and a registered nurse.  

Support model:  This is an unpaid missionary appointment. The individual will raise support and must be sent and overseen by a recognized sending agency that provides both support for each missionary and ongoing member care.

Full scope obstetric care—prenatal risk screening and ultrasound (dating, growth, position, placental location, amniotic fluid), management of selected high-risk pregnancies (hypertensive disorders, gestational diabetes, multiple gestation), labor and delivery with fetal monitoring and pain management, and immediate postpartum stabilization. Perform scheduled and emergency cesarean sections, manage obstetric hemorrhage, including surgical management when needed, and support VBAC and repeat cesarean. Provide outpatient gynecology and perform outpatient obstetric and gynecologic procedures. 

Share labor-and-delivery, cesarean, and obstetric calls with other providers, expanding delivery and surgical capacity, and providing maternity coverage. Point-of-care and obstetric ultrasound and procedural skills (obstetric, gynecologic, wound care, and minor procedures) are highly valued.

• Program development: Help build both the maternity and general service lines—contributing to obstetric-emergency protocols, surgical readiness, and call-coverage planning, alongside the outpatient continuum of care, emergency triage, credentialing, and quality systems.

• Teaching & mentorship: Precept Honduran and expatriate learners across both family medicine and obstetrics, help lead ALSO and NRP training, support fetal-monitoring strip rounds and case conferences, and help lay the groundwork for future training programs.

• Who thrives here: A physician who loves both the breadth of family medicine and obstetrical care—energized by being a versatile, high-impact provider who can move between general care and surgical obstetrics in a region that has long lacked both.

• Current team:  Join a current medical team composed of one family medicine-obstetrics physician (FM-OB), two family medicine physicians, two pediatricians, a family nurse practitioner, and a registered nurse.  

Support model:  This is an unpaid missionary appointment. The individual will raise support and must be sent and overseen by a recognized sending agency that provides both support for each missionary and ongoing member care.

Conduct triage and vital-sign assessment, administer medications under protocol, and respond to emergencies including obstetric hemorrhage and neonatal resuscitation.

Contribute to triage criteria and the systems that keep care within a safe, defined scope.

• Teaching & mentorship (central to this role): Train, precept, and mentor Honduran nursing staff and students; lead in-service sessions on lactation, jaundice management, sepsis recognition, respiratory distress, and KMC positioning; and help run NRP/Helping Babies Breathe training with annual recertification.
