Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine Global Health Committee’s Abstract Mentor Program
Scientific communication is a learned art best facilitated through mentorship. The SMFM Global Health Committee is working to improve communication and dissemination of obstetric research done by investigators from low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) by leveraging the expertise of SMFM members invested in mentoring.
Interested LMIC authors with completed abstracts planning to submit to SMFM’s 2027 Pregnancy Meeting can send their abstracts for pre-review to receive mentorship and guidance around scientific communication from veteran MFM investigators. Volunteer mentors will pre-review up to 5 abstracts with a goal of providing feedback to strengthen abstracts prior to final meeting submission.
- Authors interested in mentorship will submit their completed abstract, formatted according to SMFM Guidance, through the Abstract Mentorship portal >>> Sign up to have your Abstract reviewed*
- Volunteer mentors will receive abstracts in a .doc format by September 1. Mentors will provide tracked changes and/or written feedback regarding the abstract’s format, study design, analytical methods, and communication of results within 7 days. Sign up to be a Mentor
*Authors wishing to participate in the mentorship program must be from a LMIC country.
