Currently, each member provides 20-30 new (clinic and inpatient) consultations each month seeing patients whose complexities cross the breadth of MFM .

As a member of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, physicians enjoy a close working relationship with other department members.

Faculty and their dependents are eligible for an extensive benefits package including prescription drug coverage, vision care, dental care, long term disability insurance, life insurance and access to the Employee and Family Assistance Program.
