Overview

Our clinic provides both consultations and on-going prenatal care to women with high-risk pregnancies. It also provides pre-pregnancy consultations to women who have medical problems or have had difficult pregnancies, in order to assist them in deciding about a future pregnancy. Our approach to care includes a multidisciplinary team of perinatologists, specialized nurses, sonographers, a dietitian, a social worker and a psychologist.

Patients in the High-Risk Pregnancy Clinic

The High-Risk Clinic is a teaching clinic and you may be seen by a number of different levels of medical personnel. These individuals should identify their level of training to you as follows:

• Medical student – training to qualify as a new physician.
• Resident – a qualified physician training in a specialty, usually obstetrics (care of pregnant women).
• Fellow – a qualified obstetrician who is taking further sub-speciality training to become an expert in Maternal-Fetal Medicine (high risk pregnancy).
• Staff physician in the Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine – a physician trained and accredited in managing high-risk pregnancy and a full member of the medical staff of The Ottawa Hospital.

A Staff physician, who provides supervision and allocates responsibilities for the medical personnel according to their level of training, is present in every clinic.  The Staff Physician may not see all patients at every appointment.  If at any time you would like to speak personally to the Staff physician about your care, please do not hesitate to ask.
