MFM Fellowship

What is MFM Fellowship?

The maternal-fetal medicine fellowship trains OB-GYN physicians to serve as professional healthcare advocates for all pregnant individuals and function as collaborative consultants to general OB-GYNs and other healthcare providers in the management of complicated pregnancies.
