Our ACGME and ABOG-approved, three-year fellowship program trains specialists to provide care and consultation for patients with obstetric, medical and surgical complications during pregnancy. Fellows are trained to assess and treat the maternal and fetal effects of these disorders and to manage pregnancies complicated by primary fetal conditions, including structural and functional abnormalities or primary maternal conditions, including complex maternal cardiac disease and placenta accreta.
Fellows learn high‐risk pregnancy management through a combination of didactic lectures and conferences given by anesthesiology; human genetics; maternal-fetal medicine; neonatology and pathology faculty. Fellows also obtain significant hands‐on experience and the opportunity to make independent decisions in both outpatient and inpatient settings, under the guidance of MFM faculty members.
Fellows have a breadth of opportunities that can be focused on individual interests, including biostatistics and epidemiology; critical care; fetal echocardiogram; genetics and infectious disease. Our fetal therapy program continues to expand, and fellows have exposure to advanced procedures. Fellows are all trained in amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling.
Our program is based at Jackson Memorial Hospital, the primary teaching affiliate of the University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine, in addition to the UHealth Tower, a University of Miami Hospital and Clinics Facility and various UHealth clinics. Jackson Memorial Hospital is a tertiary care referral center for high-risk pregnancies in South Florida, and the surrounding domestic and international regions.
The surroundings in which you train are an important aspect of selecting a fellowship program and Miami is a unique and wonderful place to both work and live. Situated in one of the world’s premier destinations, we invite you to come discover for yourself why patients, physicians and students from across the country and around the world are drawn to Miami and Jackson Memorial Hospital. We look forward to receiving your application and training prominent academic leaders in our subspecialty.
