OB & Women’s Health Training

We have one of the highest-volume Family Medicine and OB training experiences in the country. Our staff includes 17 Family Medicine faculty members who supervise and staff our deliveries to serve as role models for the delivering Family Medicine resident.  Furthermore, two of the FM Faculty have completed external Family Medicine OB fellowship programs.

Our facility averages 250 deliveries per month in our hospital with our residents delivering 99 percent of the patients. The current cumulative (three-year) resident delivery numbers average 110-210 deliveries. Our residents are the primary delivery physician on almost all forceps and vacuum deliveries.

Our residents train as the primary surgeon on 35-100 C-sections over three years leading to competency and privileges after training.

Floor supervision, vaginal deliveries, and C-sections only involving our Family Medicine residents in consultation with our Family Medicine faculty, the in-house OB laborists or the community OB attendings
