Obstetrics/Gynecology - Clinical Sites
Einstein Medical Center:
In- and outpatient gynecologic oncology care is provided one day a week by Drs. Joel Noumoff and Justin Chura. They operate one day a week. Residents participate in the full range of surgical oncology procedures and the complex pre- and post-operative care of these patients while in-patients in our Women’s Care Pavilion and co-manage patients with intensivists when these patients require intensive care. Patients receiving radiation therapy are supervised by our Division of Radiation Oncology. Our residents participate in the care and plan follow up of these patients. Patients who receive chemotherapy are cared for in our Cancer Center. Our residents participate in the care and plan the follow up of these patients. During the patient’s inpatient stay her care is supervised by a member of the division of pelvic surgery.
Fox Chase Cancer Center:
Fox Chase Cancer Center provides additional experience in gynecologic oncology and complex gynecologic surgery in the setting of a hospital devoted to oncology. Fox Chase Cancer Center is a leading Cancer Center where learning is accomplished in an interdisciplinary model involving gynecologic and surgical oncology, medical oncology, and radiation therapy, as well as social services and supports including hospice and end of life care. Fox Chase Cancer Center does not have a gynecologic residency or fellowship in gynecologic oncology so that our residents are the primary residents working with the Board Certified Gynecologic Oncologists of the center. They also have the opportunity to work with the surgical oncology group in the operating room and with medical and radiation therapy members of the care team. The residents participate in the full range of complex surgical gynecologic procedures that Gynecologic Oncologists may perform and the associated pre- and post-operative care. Fox Chase does offer a one year fellowship in advanced pelvic surgery. The fellow is able to provide additional teaching and supervision for our residents.
Continuity Office: The primary care continuity clinics required of OBGYN residents. PGYI residents will see patients with the PGYIV resident as their "introduction" into the practice and to assist in the rapid development of their ambulatory skills. At the end of the year, the PGYI resident will "pickup" the practice of their PGYIV partner, thereby creating a four-year continuity for patients.
Colposcopy: The colposcopy clinic is also integrated into the continuity offices.
MFM / High Risk Obstetrics Clinics : Patients with complex, high-risk obstetric or medical problems are followed in this office under the supervision of the PGY IV MFM Resident and the faculty of the Division of Maternal and Fetal Medicine.
Abington Reproductive Endocrinology: This state of the art facility provides our residents with the opportunity to gain a surgical and ambulatory appreciation in the field of reproductive medicine. At our main campus over 75% of our patients receive Medicaid and thus, in order to provide our residents with an appropriate experience we have built a strong 10 year relationship with this group. Dr. Larry Barmat is a graduate of our program and senior member of the Abington Fertility group.
Einstein Medical Center Montgomery (EMCM): EMCM is scheduled to open on September 29, 2012. We will have three general OBGYN groups practicing at the hospital. In addition subspecialty groups in gynecologic oncology from Fox Chase Cancer Center. Drs. Miles Murphy, Vincent Lucente, and Bhatia Saiz from The Institute for Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery, and Maternal Fetal Medicine from our group here at Einstein.
