As a Level III maternity center, we have board certified obstetricians available at all times, as well as maternal fetal medicine subspecialists with in-depth education and experience in obstetrics care who assist in directing our services.

If your doctor provides patient care services at OSU Wexner Medical Center, then he or she will manage your care while you are here. If your doctor is not part of the Wexner Medical Center system, your care will be transferred to our high-risk staff while you are here. Our team of doctors and nurses is experienced in the care of complicated pregnancies such are yours. We are here for any advanced care you or your baby may need.

The doctors who direct your care within our Women and Infants department are called perinatologists. We have nine perinatologists, who are obstetricians with additional training in complicated or high-risk pregnancies. One of these faculty attending physicians is always on call to supervise your care.

There are also fellows who are in training to become perinatologists. These doctors have already completed their training in obstetrics and gynecology. The resident staff physicians who see you every day are an important part of your care team. You may also see medical students from the OSU College of Medicine as part of your care team.

Additional team members include:

• Every nurse on the unit has had additional training and is certified in fetal monitoring.

• Patient care associates (PCAs) assist the nursing staff in your care.

• A board certified anesthesiologist with special training and experience in obstetric anesthesia is in charge of maternal anesthesia services.

• A full complement of subspecialists, including subspecialists in critical care, general surgery, infectious disease, hematology, cardiology, nephrology, neurology, oncology and neonatology are available as needed for patient care consultations and services.
