Description
The Altru Family Medicine Obstetric Fellowship will offer advanced and intensive training to those interested in practicing in a rural community. Typically, these areas are underserved, not staffed by specialty services and often great distances from referral centers. Family physicians serving these populations need unique preparation and qualifications. It is our intention to help provide the experience and training needed by these physicians. The OB fellow will have graduated from an accredited three year Family Medicine Residency and will be a licensed Family Physician. Two fellows will be accepted each year. Specific rotations will be offered throughout the year. The OB fellow will be expected to take OB call throughout the year and will maintain a continuity clinic two to three half-days per week at the Altru Family Medicine Residency. Planned rotations include: • Anesthesiology • Neonatology • Infertility • Prenatal clinic • Surgical obstetrics and gynecology • Obstetrics ultrasound • Genetics • Gynecologic and obstetric procedures • Management of the high risk OB patient Specific skills to be acquired during the yearlong fellowship include: • Triage and management of general labor and delivery patients • Management of the high risk OB patient • Competence in surgical management of obstetric patients • Initiation and maintenance of regional anesthesia, management of related complications
