Additional Information
An overarching theme of our fellowship program is
the application of evidence-based medicine to all aspects of maternity
care. Our graduates will gain a thorough knowledge of statistics,
experimental design and critical appraisal of the literature. Prenatal
ultrasounds are a particular focus of our program and will include training in
the performance and interpretation of first trimester scans, basic and detailed
anatomy ultrasounds, fetal echocardiography, as well as Doppler studies.
Fellows will also receive hands-on training in genetic amniocentesis, chorionic
villus sampling (CVS), multi-fetal pregnancy reduction, and percutaneous
umbilical blood sampling (PUBS). Approximately half of the fellow's time
will be dedicated to research and completion of a publishable thesis. The
fellow will learn to perform current laboratory methods such as ELISA,
electrophoresis, cell culture, PCR, chromatography and electron microscopy as
they collaborate with scientists in the Department of Molecular and Cellular
Physiology at Albany Medical College. There will also be ample
opportunities to conduct clinical research during the fellowship. Upon
graduation, fellows will have the knowledge , skills, and confidence needed to
excel as a Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialist.
