Family Medicine OB Curriculum
During our year together, you’ll gain the knowledge and skills needed to provide full-spectrum obstetric care in under-resourced communities.
Training schedule
- Your experience begins with 8 weeks in labor and delivery at our state-of-the-art teaching medical center, where you’ll grow proficient in vaginal deliveries, including vaginal births after cesarean (VBAC), vacuum-assisted deliveries and cesarean sections. Your schedule includes 24-hour in-house call and out-of-hospital cesarean section only call.
- You’ll learn how to manage pregnancy, including pre- and post-term complications, during ongoing training in labor and delivery, Family Medicine and high-risk Maternal Fetal Medicine
- You’ll spend 6-8 weeks non-contiguous training with obstetric patients at our clinic in Tomah to understand the benefits and challenges of practicing in rural communities
- At Gundersen, we learn from each other. Your fellowship experience allows you to educate our regional obstetric providers during lectures and simulation drills.
