Maternal Fetal Medicine Fellowship

The Maternal Fetal Medicine (MFM) Fellowship is a three year program which follows guidelines of the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG). In order to meet these guidelines, the division uses specialists in MFM, neonatology, ultrasonography, fetal echocardiography, obstetrical critical care, diabetes, infectious diseases, genetics, obstetrical anesthesia, and the basic sciences. The Department also utilizes faculty from the Columbia University School of Public Health to ensure that the Fellows have an education in epidemiology and biostatistics. The program is designed to graduate specialists who provide consultation and care for patients with obstetric, medical, and surgical complications during pregnancy. They are trained to assess and treat the fetal effects of these disorders. They also learn to diagnose and manage pregnancies with fetal disorders. Fellows are taught high-risk pregnancy management through a combination of didactic lectures and conferences given by the Maternal Fetal Medicine, Human Genetics, Neonatology, Pathology and Anesthesiology faculty. They also obtain significant hands-on experience and the opportunity to make independent decisions in the outpatient and inpatient setting under the guidance of MFM faculty members.
