Sea Mar Family Medicine Obstetrics Fellowship

Overview

The Sea Mar Family Medicine Obstetrics Fellowship is a partnership between Sea Mar Community Health Centers and Providence Regional Medical Center Everett Obstetrics and Gynecology department. 53 weeks in length, this experience is focused on high-risk and surgical obstetrics while maintaining family medicine continuity clinic skills with two fellows per year.

Fellows serve as junior faculty at Sea Mar, caring for their own panel of family medicine patients, precepting residents in their continuity clinic and taking call as independent licensed physicians providing care to obstetrical patients and their newborns. They also work with obstetricians at Sea Mar for complicated OB clinics. In the hospital, fellows serve as attendings with Sea Mar OB patients.

  Fellows are supervised by Providence OB/Gyn physicians while working on labor & delivery, where they gain valuable skills in management of high-risk OB patients and surgical obstetrics. Fellows work with family medicine residents on OB/Gyn patients as well and serve as the junior attending with these often-complex patients, working closely with the OB/Gyn attending.  They act as primary surgeon on the majority of C-sections with OB/Gyn, assisting on more complicated cases. 

Skills and Experience

Experience varies, but the following are projections from our first cohort of fellows during their fellowship year: 
 

  • C/S primary – 140-150


  • Vaginal deliveries – 45-58


  • Assisted vaginal deliveries – 5-15


  • Fellows also gain experience with skills such as external cephalic version, breech delivery, twin delivery, and assisting on cesarean myomectomy and hysterectomy.




    • The fellowship has a unique alternating week schedule, with every other week spent on labor and delivery and the alternating week spent in clinic. On labor & delivery weeks, fellows complete 3-5 shifts varying from 12 hours to 24 hours in length. Fellows may also opt to add other experiences such as office procedure clinics or additional precepting.

    Fellows take part in monthly skills workshops with OB/Gyn faculty. Fellows are involved with quality improvement work at the hospital and clinic level and may participate in relevant hospital committees.
