Thirteen blocks of the three-year Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) Fellowship Program are dedicated to research, and two others are available for other academic endeavors, such as postgraduate courses and clinical rotations on other services. Some fellows may choose to use these flexible blocks as additional protected research time for a maximum of 15 blocks of research.

To fulfill American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology requirements, each fellow must complete an original research project leading to a thesis. The thesis must be completed and accepted by the MFM Division faculty before the fellow graduates.

Fellows have ample opportunities to collaborate with Department faculty as well as faculty in the Cecil H. and Ida Green Center for Reproductive Biology.

Currently, the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Division has four collaborative research projects ongoing with the Green Center's Solmonson Lab, led by Ashley Solmonson, Ph.D. These projects are in:

  • Postpartum metabolic phenotypes
  • Placental imaging and metabolism
  • Syphilis and placental response
  • Hemosonics/postpartum hemorrhage
