OB/GYN Practice Autonomy Is Just the Start
Independent OB/GYNs choose Nova not just to practice medicine – but to build, lead, and shape the future of women’s health on their own terms.
What Physician-Led Looks Like – When It’s Done Right
Physician-Led by Design – Not Just in Governance
Clinical and operational autonomy is not just preserved, it's the premise. Nova doesn’t centralize decision-making or impose a top-down operating model. Instead, each practice retains local leadership while gaining access to shared strategy, capital, and resources. This is a stark contrast to models that appear physician-led but operate with centralized control over key levers.
Built for Builders: A Launchpad for Entrepreneurial Physicians
Nova explicitly seeks out physicians who want to grow, specialize, and build something – whether that’s a new service line, a regional hub, or a more focused clinical career. Our model is optimized for entrepreneurial ambition, not just operational stability or passive income.
Full-Spectrum Subspecialty & Ancillary Development Strategy
Nova isn’t assembling a roll-up. We’re building something deeper: regional centers of excellence through intentional integration of high-impact service lines like menopause care, urogynecology, mammography, and MFM.
“Privademic” Ecosystem with Peer Collaboration, Not Corporate Homogenization
Nova promotes a “privademic” model – bringing the best of private practice together with the depth and peer mentorship often found in academic environments. Physicians can deepen their subspecialty focus, join a national brain trust, and still retain their local identity.
Long-Term Value Creation Over Short-Term Monetization
Compensation strategy is designed for long-term upside – through optimized payer contracting, in-house revenue capture, and shared growth initiatives. Initial buy-in may include a short-term pay cut, but physicians are invested in the future value they help create.
