Additional Information

The overall goal of our training program is to provide our fellows with a comprehensive education in the field of perinatal medicine. They will gain experience and expertise through didactic education, clinical experience and research training.

During the course of three years, fellows will complete rotations in ultrasound, maternal-fetal medicine outpatient high-risk clinic, maternal-fetal medicine inpatient service, and adult intensive care. They will have experience interacting with pathology, anesthesiology, and the neonatal intensive care unit. In addition, our fellows receive 12 months of dedicated research training during their fellowship.

Our fellows have a unique opportunity to be involved in multidisciplinary patient counseling with the patient, her family and other health professionals from various specialties including neonatal intensive care, obstetrics, pediatric cardiology, pediatric neurosurgery and pediatric surgery as applicable. The entire group meets to coordinate antenatal care as well as postnatal procedures for appropriate fetuses (e.g., a fetus with congenital anomalies). These conferences serve as an opportunity for multi-disciplinary collaboration, and are unique in including the patient. Fellows see this as a valuable opportunity for learning and continuity of care.
