Support/Resources for Pregnant & Parenting Medical Students

The University of Miami Medical School is committed to a culture of belonging for all students, including pregnant and parenting students. Notifying the medical school administration allows us to assist you in planning ahead to balance pregnancy and school obligations. Early disclosure can be particularly helpful in informing academic planning that ensures you continue to make progress towards graduation through your pregnancy, delivery, and beyond. Dr. Marisa Echenique from our medical school has been identified to serve as a resource and can be contact at Mechenique@med.miami.edu.
