Maternal-Fetal Medicine Fellowship Program Facilities
Fellows in the Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) Fellowship Program receive clinical training at the UT Southwestern Medical Center hospitals and clinics and Parkland Health.
UT Southwestern Medical Center
UT Southwestern's William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital is a 751-bed, maternity level IV hospital that has 16 family-oriented birthing suites, three obstetrical specialty surgical suites, and 30 neonatal intensive care rooms.
The UTSW practice is small compared to the large volume of the Parkland maternity service, but it is uniquely complex because it is enriched by referrals from the community, the North Texas region, and neighboring states. Clements University Hospital has just over 1,500 deliveries per year. In addition to diagnostic and consultative services, our MFM practice is open to obstetrical patients delivered by our faculty.
The UTSW MFM clinics are located on UTSW's main campus in Dallas, as well as in Irving, in Las Colinas, and at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Plano.
Parkland Health
Parkland is our primary teaching facility, with approximately 13,500 deliveries annually. This volume offers a remarkable diversity of pathology and obstetric complications.
