Throughout each rotation, fellows experience a balance of clinical work, research, didactics, and multi-/inter- disciplinary meetings. The schedule is comprised of month-long rotations, broken down into 12 clinical, 12 research, 6 ultrasound/genetics, 2 labor/delivery supervisory, 1 ICU/SICU, and 3 elective. During a typical month, fellows partake in genetics lectures, two perinatal/neonatal conferences, MFM journal club, and weekly complicated patient meetings, MFM research meetings, and didactic sessions and faculty-led lectures.

Our curriculum key components include the knowledge and management of obstetrical, medical, and surgical complications of pregnancy, critical care, high-risk women’s health from preconception through postpartum, and prenatal ultrasound/diagnosis. Fellows learn to properly apply knowledge of genetics, molecular biology, immunology, teratology, and embryology to preconception counseling. We encourage fellows to advance the field with training in basic science and translational and clinical research, and ensuring their ability to critically read and apply scientific literature. Exposure to large numbers of procedures (CVS, amniocentesis, cerclage, cesarean-hysterectomy) uniquely provide our fellows with confidence and competency in their procedural and surgical skills. There is a strong emphasis on interpersonal and communication skills including teamwork, leadership, universal inclusion of our vastly diverse patient and staff population, compassionate patient care, commitment to ethical principles, and professionalism.
