Investing in the Future
Clínica Médicos offers an advanced obstetrics fellowship for family physicians — training the next generation to provide full-spectrum care, both locally and around the world.
Advanced obstetrics training rooted in hands-on experience, patient care, and service.
To train family physicians in advanced obstetrics, including cesarean section, so they can provide full-spectrum care for the whole family — both locally and globally.
Clínica Médicos is an independent, faith-based practice offering a fellowship in advanced obstetrics for family physicians who seek further training in surgical obstetric skills. Fellows receive training in cesarean delivery, obstetric ultrasound, dilation and curettage, sterilization techniques, and the management of complicated pregnancies. Fellows also gain valuable experience in office procedures — such as fracture and laceration care, abscess and wound care, and long-acting reversible contraception — along with office gynecologic procedures, practice management, physician-operated lab management, and preparation for ultrasound certification.
The fellowship blends outpatient care with inpatient care of obstetric and neonatal patients. Fellows function as Junior Faculty supervising UT Family Practice residents and medical students in the hospital, and are expected to pursue board certification in Family Medicine Obstetrics through the American Board of Physician Specialists following graduation.
