OB & Women’s Health
Family Medicine as it should be.
One of the highest volume Family Medicine-OB training experiences in the country
- Floor supervision, vaginal deliveries and C-sections (as the primary surgeon) only involving our Family Medicine residents in consultation with our Family Medicine faculty, the in-house OB laborists or the community OB attendings
- 250 deliveries per month in our hospital (with our residents delivering 99% of the patients)
- Current cumulative (3-year) resident delivery numbers average 110-210
- 17 Family Medical faculty who supervise and staff our deliveries (serving as role models for the delivering Family Medicine resident)
- 2 OB-Fellowship-Trained FM Faculty
Operative OB surgical training that is
second to none
- Our residents train as the primary surgeon on the majority of C-sections
- C-section numbers that lead to competency and privileges after training (ranging from 35-100 as the primary surgeon over 3 years)
- Our residents are the primary delivery physician on almost all forceps and vacuum deliveries
- Excellent gynecologic operative experience
Advanced Training/Community Support
- High-volume continuity OB care of your own patients
- Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics (ALSO) training at the beginning of residency
- Close working relationship with area obstetricians and delivering Family Medicine physicians
- Women’s Health rotation emphasizing colposcopy and LEEP training
