Maternal-Fetal Medicine Fellowship

The Maternal-Fetal Medicine Fellowship provides a broad education in all aspects of maternal-fetal medicine. We expect our graduates to become busy and valued clinicians who will be leaders in our field. Training includes:

• The basic science and physiology of pregnancy
• Ultrasound and prenatal diagnosis
• Management of medical and obstetrical complications of pregnancy
• All aspects of labor, delivery and postpartum care

In addition, you will learn research design and statistical methods and complete a scholarly thesis. Through our affiliated departments and services, including the Obstetrics Program, you will receive education in obstetrical anesthesia, neonatology and critical care. Mass General’s affiliation with Harvard Medical School allows for the opportunity for trainees to advance both the basic and clinical science of pregnancy.
