Obstetrical & Gynecological Anesthesia
Obstetrical-Anesthesiology Fellowship
Ferne Braveman, MD,
Director
The focus of the obstetrical
anesthesiology fellowship is to provide a nurturing environment
in which to acquire the knowledge and develop the technical skills
necessary to provide superb clinical care and cultivate quality
research. The fellowship is set up as a one-year program designed
to allow the individual maximal exposure to the management of complex
obstetrical cases, clinical research, and teaching opportunities
best suited to his or her own interests and ultimate career goals.
The clinical and research components of this fellowship program
are clearly defined.
 |
The first clinical portion of the
program focuses primarily on the care and management of complex
and high-risk patients. There are in excess of 5000 deliveries
a year with a 35% C-section rate. |
|
We are a tertiary referral center
and 15% of the deliveries are considered to be high risk. The
fellow will be primarily involved with high-risk cases. |
|
The research portion of the fellowship
should be clinically oriented. It is expected that the fellow
have his/her area of interest outlined before starting the fellowship.
This will permit the fellow adequate time to allow presentation
of findings at SOAP (Society of Obstetrical Anesthesia and Perinatology)
in May. The fellow will have ample guidance throughout a research
project by world renowned clinical researchers within the department. |
|
The fellow will be expected to assist
in the teaching of residents rotating through the OB anesthesia
section. This will take the form of informal discussions, seminars
and formal lectures. |
|
The fellow will also be involved
in direct supervision of residents on the OB floor and OR. |
