Maternal Fetal Medicine Fellowship
The Maternal-Fetal Medicine Fellowship Training Program at (BIDMC) is a comprehensive clinical and research fellowship, designed to accommodate each fellow’s special interests. The fellowship offers two tracks: a traditional MFM fellowship track and a track with course work that can lead to a Masters in Public Health degree. The first year of fellowship is essentially the same for both tracks. In the second and third years, fellows choose which track they would like to follow based on their own interests and goals. The Master in Public Health track allows the fellow to take course work at the Harvard University School of Public Health with a total of up to 24 months research time. The traditional MFM track gives the fellow 18 months of dedicated research time with 6 months of additional clinical time for electives and further exploration of subspecialties. The fellows are guided by a “mentoring team” which will be tailored for each fellow. The team consists of a basic science or clinical research mentor, a clinical MFM faculty mentor and the Director of the fellowship. The assignment of the mentors depends on the goals and interests of each fellow.
Our academic environment is particularly supportive for clinical, translational and basic research endeavors in all aspects of Maternal-Fetal Medicine. The fellowship offers extensive clinical experience in high-risk obstetrics, prenatal genetics, sonography and ultrasound-guided procedures, and excellent basic and clinical research opportunities. There is well over 50% protected time for educational and research activities. It is our objective that upon completion of training our fellow will have completed all of the requirements of the ABOG Division of MFM for Subspecialty Board Certification, and will be prepared to be leaders in academic and clinical MFM.
The Maternal-Fetal Medicine Fellowship at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center is an American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG) approved fellowship training program. We follow the guidelines set forth for the training of Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialists.
