Florida Obstetrician Colleges

An obstetrician is a medical professional with specialized training and experience in handling pregnancies, including births. Obstetricians are often referred to as OB/GYNs, which stands for obstetrician/gynecologist, because many have a background in gynecology, which is the study of the female reproductive system. Only licensed obstetricians are legally allowed to practice medicine in the state of Florida. To obtain a license, proper education is needed. Obstetricians must complete four years of medical school and at least one year of internship before entering graduate courses in obstetrics. Graduate courses may take four to six years to complete. Medical schools offering the required courses for obstetrics are located throughout Florida.
