University of Washington Medical Center (UWMC)
Fellows will spend the second and third years of the fellowship in clinical care. Inpatient care is facilitated at UWMC-Montlake, a 450-bed hospital with 25 operating rooms, 10 of which are dedicated to advanced laparoscopy and robotics, and a dedicated gynecologic oncology floor. Fellows also spend time at UWMC-Northwest, a community-based, non-profit hospital with 281 beds.
Surgery will be taught by the gynecologic oncology faculty. When patients enter the system at the UWMC they are assigned to an individual faculty member who then provides continuity of care throughout their experience in our system. This includes both inpatient and outpatient management.
Fellows will be supervised and advised by a faculty member at all times, allowing for progressively increasing responsibility and independence.
Inpatient ward rounds are typically carried out as a team consisting of medical students, residents, attendings, fellow(s) and inpatient advanced practice provider. In addition, pharmacy residents, nutritionists, nursing staff, and social workers will join dedicated care meetings to facilitate integrated and comprehensive care of our patients.
Fellows will have the opportunity to provide complex gynecologic oncology consults as our non-surgical patients are admitted to an Oncology team managed by Internal Medicine.
