M.D. Dr. Funai completed a fellowship in Maternal Fetal Medicine at NYU Hospitals Center in 1998. At Bellevue, he oversees obstetrical care and ultrasound services for 2100 expectant mothers annually, many of which are high risk. She is a former director of the ultrasound unit at Bellevue and now oversees care as Director of Labor and Delivery. Frank Silverman, MD directs Labor and Delivery. Currently, the two facilities produce over 5,000 deliveries annually, with projections for approximately 6,000 deliveries at Tisch Hospital alone by the year 2000.
Residents play an active role on both services.
All clinician members of the faculty participate in this role. Residents on this Service become accustomed to managing all aspects of obstetrics, often seeing the most unusual antepartum, intrapartum and postpartum presentations and events. Eventually, the unexpected becomes expected, and the most difficult of cases become routine for the Bellevue-trained resident.
