Dell Seton Medical Center — the primary teaching hospital for Dell Med — was built in 2017 by Ascension Seton. As Austin’s only urban Level I Trauma Center, it serves a diverse population. Dell Seton’s collaboration with the medical school, new outpatient sites and wide range of specialty services make it the ideal site for many of our gynecologic and subspecialty surgeries.
The mission of this top-rated medical and surgical Magnet hospital is to provide excellent care to the Central Austin community. In the labor and delivery unit, the program serves patients from various practices. In addition, there are active gynecologic, minimally invasive surgery and specialty surgical services at Ascension Seton Medical Center Austin.
Ascension Seton Medical Center Williamson, ranked as high-performing by U.S. News and World Report, is an environment designed for warmth and healing care. The facility has a dedicated women’s center with separate entrance for obstetrics and gynecology, labor and delivery, postpartum care and Level II nursery.
UT Health Austin, the clinical practice of Dell Med, uses a revolutionary team-based practice model that takes a multidisciplinary approach to treating people with complex medical conditions. Current specialty areas include vulvar disorders, chronic pelvic pain and pelvic floor disorders, with complex contraceptive, reproductive loss and gynecologic oncology care clinics in development.
The program offers one fellowship position that begins July 1, 2021.
The curriculum includes lecture-based Grand Rounds, simulation and skills workshops, small-group discussions and self-directed learning.
It’s an exciting time to be a part of medical education and research in Austin. Dell Med residents and fellows are talented physicians working to become leaders in their fields.
