Maternal-Fetal Medicine Fellowship

The Maternal-Fetal Medicine Fellowship Training Program at Johns Hopkins is a clinical and research-oriented fellowship designed to provide advanced education and training in the care of the pregnant patient and her fetus, prenatal diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, clinical and didactic teaching skills, and developing research skills. Our academic environment, faculty educators, case acuity, diversity and volume of complicated pregnancies provide a strong foundation for our comprehensive fellowship training program in maternal-fetal medicine.
