Sonographer (MFM)

				Overview:

Eastside Maternal-Fetal Medicine is a group of physicians, nurses, sonographers, dietitians, diabetic educators, and genetic counselors who provide obstetrical care and screening for pregnant women in Bellevue, WA and surrounding areas. We work with obstetricians and midwives in the local community to support maternal and fetal health in pregnancies that may be at increased risk of complication due to maternal age, pre-existing maternal conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes, multiple gestation such as twins and triplets, and many other issues. We provide a screening service for low-risk pregnancies to ensure that every family has access to top quality ultrasound imaging and education regarding screening options.

"Pediatrix is family focused and understands that we have a lot of working moms and encourages work-life balance. With few exceptions, each practice is allowed to run in a way that works for them and their staff without too many corporate policies hindering how they work. However, corporate support is always there when needed. Pediatrix offers great benefits, EAP, discounts, free CME and learning resources. There's also options to transfer to another practice within the company, giving opportunities to live where you want without having to start over with seniority and PTO."
