High-risk, high-impact: Become a leader in MFM at Tufts Medical Center

At Tufts Medical Center, we believe Maternal Fetal Medicine specialists should be more than excellent clinicians. They should also be educators, advocates​ and innovators who shape the future of maternal and fetal health. Our fellowship provides a thorough, well-rounded education that combines practical training with research, teaching​ and leadership opportunities.

Our Maternal-Fetal Medicine Fellowship is designed to train the next generation of leaders in high-risk obstetrics. We teach fellows how to give great, evidence-based care. They also become confident teachers, advocates for health equity​ and leaders in research and quality improvement.

Why choose Tufts Medical Center for MFM training:

  • High-volume, high-acuity experience: Care for a diverse patient population, including more than 500 maternal transfers each year, with extensive exposure to obstetric complications and critical care.
  • Advanced ultrasound and procedures: Learn how to get, interpret​ and talk about ultrasounds. You'll also learn about amniocentesis, CVS​ and fetal blood sampling. Additional opportunities in fetal interventions are available through a collaboration with Boston Children’s Hospital.
  • Research and scholarship: Receive financial and statistical support for basic, clinical​ or translational research with mentorship to develop your own clinical or academic niche.
  • Self-determination with support: Start as a junior faculty member early. You'll be independent in the continuity clinic, Labor & Delivery​ and the Perinatal Diagnostic Center, all in a supportive learning environment.
  • Career-ready training: Graduates leave prepared to run ultrasound units, lead clinical teams​ and excel in academic or leadership positions.
