| Family-Centered Perinatal Care Program
This program was established in January 2000 to
provide an enhanced educational experience in perinatal care to
Family Medicine residents. This program is directed by George Samraj, M.D.
The overall goal of the program is
to create a supportive
infrastructure for expanded OB and pre- and post-conceptual
care in Family Medicine.
Family Medicine residents are
offered experience in perinatal care in urban, rural, and
community clinic settings. Urban inner-city patients are
seen at the Family Medicine Residency Program clinic site in Gainesville. With the participation of
local physicians, community perinatal care experience is
provided at Lake Shore Hospital, a community hospital in
Lake City, Florida.
The FPRP clinic is well
equipped. The ultrasound machine is used with prenatal
patients for detecting early pregnancy complications,
dating, confirmation of position, and other indications.
An electronic fetal monitor is available for evaluating
fetal well-being.
Faculty include family
physicians, obstetricians and a nurse midwife. Curricular
elements include hands on care in deliveries, longitudinal
prenatal care, high risk and operative obstetrics.
Ultrasound experience is included as both ultrasound
evaluation and non-stress testing and are carried out at
the Family Medicine Center.
Additionally monthly OB meetings and extra didactic
sessions augment the noon conference OB lecture series.
