Ob/Gyn Fellowship Programs
With programs in all the subspecialties of obstetrics and gynecology, UT Southwestern's Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology trains fellows to be future academic leaders.
We offer ACGME-accredited fellowships in Gynecologic Oncology, Maternal-Fetal Medicine, and Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery as well as an AAGL- and SRS-accredited fellowship in Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery.
Our fellows receive extensive training in patient care, as well as basic and clinical research, and also have the opportunity to teach residents and medical students.
Subspecialty Fellowships
General Information for Clinical Fellows
Each subspecialty has its own application deadlines and requirements. Please refer to the application information outlined on the individual web page describing your subspecialty of interest.
Conferences
Fellows have the opportunity to attend conferences within their own subspeciality. Conferences are approved at the discretion of the fellowship program director.
License, Compensation, and Benefits
Texas Medical License
Application for a Texas medical license should be instituted immediately after being accepted into an obstetrics and gynecology fellowship program. The licensing process in Texas is cumbersome and time consuming. If not begun well in advance, obtaining a license prior to starting fellowship training will be difficult. The Texas Medical Board (TMB) accepts applications online.
Personal Time Off
Paid time off (PTO) is provided in accordance with the institution’s Your Time Away program. Please refer to the institution’s Human Resource webpage. PTO may be used for personal business, leisure, or for health reasons.
Fellowship program directors may also grant fellows additional time off for special circumstances such as job interviews or unexpected health problems. This time is granted on a case-by-case basis, and the final decision rests with the program director. Please note: any time off in excess of ACGME or AAGL guidelines will result in extension of the fellowship training period.
All personal time off must be approved by the program director, and coverage by other clinical fellows must be obtained.
Fellows are urged to contact their fellowship program director immediately if they become ill and to obtain approval for all other time off well in advance.
Compensation and Benefits
Fellows receive health insurance and an annual salary that increases with each year of fellowship training. Depending upon the subspecialty training program, fellows may opt to moonlight by taking in-house night call at Parkland Memorial Hospital or Clements University Hospital. Compensation for moonlighting is paid as supplemental income and is subject to income tax withholding.
