Responsibilities
Through the course of the clinical fellowship, with experience, fellows will assume a progressively independent role in the management of patients. This will include the supervision of residents and medical students in the development of management plans for the patients on labor and delivery under the supervision of MFM Faculty.
The fellows will have a weekly half-day continuity clinic at the Ben Taub during their first year and rotate through sub-specialty clinics during the second and third years of fellowship. At the Pavilion for Women inpatient (antepartum) and outpatient services (ultrasound), the fellows will be given increasing responsibility to develop the plan of care and generate consultation reports and communicate with referring physicians.
