OB Complications Clinic
The Obstetrical Complications Clinic (OBCC) is staffed by our MFM faculty and serves as the site of referral for all high-risk obstetric patients seen in the Jefferson County health departments as well as peripheral clinics in Birmingham. Approximately 2000 patients are seen each month for various problems related to pregnancy.
Here, our residents get first-hand experience managing a variety of complications in pregnancy, and residents are trained to master the art of ultrasonography. All ultrasound images obtained are cataloged in a large, computerized database, which is available both for research and clinical decision-making.
Gynecologic Continuity Clinic
In an effort to provide comprehensive care for our Gyn patients, as well as resident education, a Continuity Clinic has been established. It is under the supervision of the Division of Gynecology. This clinic functions as a Gyn clinic for non-acute care while providing primary and preventative medical treatment. Special attention is given to routine Gyn exams, contraceptive counseling, hormone replacement therapy, and screening for common medical problems.

Center for Women's Reproductive Health
Directed by Dr. John Hauth and originally called the Perinatal Epidemiology Unit of the Department of OB/GYN, the center was officially formed in 1985 to bring together investigators working on the epidemiology of pregnancy outcome. The center is now housed in a new, 25,000 square-foot facility adjacent to the Obstetrical Complications Clinic.
This unit currently has a staff of approximately 50, and it works jointly with faculty members from the School of Public Health, the medical school departments of Obstetrics, Pediatrics, General and Preventive Medicine, and Pathology, as well as members of the state and county health department staffs.
The center's original work included extensive analysis of Alabama’s birth and death certificates, comparing them to the problems of infant mortality and low birth weight. These areas remain among the unit’s major priorities.
The CRWH is developing a Division of International Research, with numerous clinical trials in Africa and around the globe.
