Obstetrics/Gynecology
Programs that are staffed by specialists who provide care for women who have routine pregnancies. Obstetricians are responsible for managing a woman's pregnancy, delivering her child and providing medical care, as needed, during the period of time it takes for her uterus to return to its normal size (generally 42 days).
Programs usually available in community-based health clinics and family planning centers that provide primary and preventive care, family planning services, diagnostic imaging, management of menopause, medical and surgical treatment of women's disorders and/or diagnosis and treatment of cancers affecting the female genital system. Specific routine services generally include pap smears, pelvic examinations, breast exams, urinalysis, pregnancy testing, laboratory tests including testing for sexually transmitted diseases, contraception, morning after contraception and hormone replacement therapy.
Programs that are staffed by specialists who provide comprehensive care for women who are at risk or have encountered complications in pregnancy, labor or delivery due to medical conditions such as hypertension, diabetes or renal disease or infectious diseases such as herpes or pyelonephritis. Specialists in this area have advanced knowledge in the obstetrical, medical and surgical complications of pregnancy and their effect on both the mother and fetus as well as expertise in the most advanced diagnostic and treatment modalities used in the care of patients with high-risk pregnancies including in utero treatment if the fetus has blood incompatibility problems or another condition that is more successfully treated prior to delivery.
