- Confident educators who guide current and future learners
- Advocates for equitable care in diverse communities
- Innovators advancing maternal-fetal medicine through research and quality improvement
Program goals
Our fellowship is designed to equip you with the skills, knowledge and confidence to excel in maternal fetal medicine. Fellows will:
- Deliver full-scope high-risk obstetric training, preparing fellows to manage complex maternal, fetal and obstetric cases independently.
- Build expertise in prenatal ultrasound, including image acquisition, interpretation and counseling on anomalies and genetic syndromes.
