What are the OB Facilities like in the hospital?
The OB rotations are at Tacoma General Hospital (TGH). The L&D suite has 13 birthing rooms complete with jacuzzis, state-of-the-art equipment and a full compliment of OB nursing staff. The L&D suite also has 4 triage exam rooms and has immediate access to 3 operating rooms adjacent to L&D. Our OB faculty provide in-house coverage 24 hours a day. OB anesthesia is also available 24 hours a day. The OB faculty are the primary teachers of our fellows. TGH serves as the referral center for the Southwest region of Washington State with a 10-bed perinatal special care unit and 3 Perinatologists, who are active teachers of our residents and fellows. TGH has a 46 bed NICU, fully staffed and coordinated by Neonatologists. This entire complement of services makes this facility an excellent training ground for obstetrics.
