Course Description:
This course will offer the learner an opportunity to gain high yield information on multiple MFM topics in a concentrated session. Each talk will be presented by expert faculty and will last 15 minutes. There will also be multiple Q&A sessions to discuss areas of controversy with the speakers and participants. This session will be helpful for fellows-in-training and MFM specialists looking for a concise review of controversial subjects, topics lacking clear evidence or guidelines, or areas where new evidence suggests a need for change in management.

Learning Objectives:
  • Broaden knowledge of MFM topics that lack clear guidelines for management or have new evidence suggesting a need for change in guidelines.
  • Describe alternatives to current management of high risk pregnancies.
  • Demonstrate understanding of the complexities of care of some common obstetrical conundrums.
