Dr.
Shettigar has been the
clerkship director in Austin since 2004. He
went to medical school at New York Medical
College, which has a similar structure to
Galveston in that he spent his preclinical
years in Valhalla, and his 3rd and 4th year in
Manhattan. He did his residency training in
Parkland.
Our
department initiated a new residency program July
2005. Our first class of residents graduated in
2009. Further information regarding this
program may be found at the following
link.
The
department runs a fellowship program for physicians
who have completed a residency in Family Practice
and wish to obtain advanced experience in
Obstetrics. This fellowship is one year in length.
They will serve as direct supervisors of the
students on L&D rotations and in general are a
valuable resource for information.
Nurse
Practitioners primarily work in triage of L&D
patients. Depending on how busy L&D is, you may
initially share the Triage evaluation of a patient
with an NP. Some of our NPs are also Certified
Nurse Midwives and may proctor you for
exams/deliveries.

Nicole Groote
are the
administrative personnel who run the
department. One of them is in the department
office (324-7036) from 07:45 to 16:30 each
weekday.
