The Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento Family Medicine FMOB Fellowship is a one-year program designed for graduates of family medicine residencies. The fellowship offers specialized training in operative obstetrics and high-risk maternity care at our high-volume hospital, while allowing fellows to continue providing longitudinal family medicine care to the community.

Training includes hands-on experience with cesarean sections, operative vaginal deliveries, postpartum management, and obstetrical ultrasound. Fellows will also develop expertise in high-risk maternity care across the continuum of pregnancy—antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum—through close collaboration with our maternal-fetal medicine team.

We are currently accepting applications for one fellow per year.

## Mentorship and Support

The program offers the opportunity to work alongside both OBGYNs and surgically trained FMOB providers in both inpatient and outpatient settings, providing a unique and comprehensive perspective on obstetrical care.

## Additional Program Features

The fellowship is open to newly graduated family medicine physicians, though all applicants are welcome. Additional benefits include:

-   Paid Time Off (PTO) and Continuing Medical Education (CME) hours
-   Moonlighting opportunities for those interested
-   Teaching opportunities with the Family Medicine Residency Program and medical student rotations
