Part of Lucile Packard Children's Hospital mission as a teaching hospital is to train health care providers. In addition to seeing your obstetric provider during your clinic visits, you may also meet:

• Maternal-Fetal medicine fellows - Licensed physicians who have completed four years of OB/GYN residency. They are doing a three year fellowship to specialize in maternal-fetal medicine.
  
  
• OB/GYN residents - Licensed physicians who work closely with our attending physicians to continue their medical training in obstetrics and gynecology. After completing their four years of residency, they are certified as OB/GYN generalists.
  
  
• Medical students – Students studying to become doctors.
  
  
• Nursing students – Students studying to become nurses.

An attending obstetrician supervises the fellows, residents and students.
 
Please note that we cannot honor requests to exclude male or female physicians from seeing you in clinic or being present at your delivery.
