About this fellowship program

The Division of Matenal Fetal Medicine maintains an ACGME-accredited, three-year fellowship that’s designed to prepare fellows for an academic career in matenal fetal medicine. Upon completion of the fellowship, our fellows have managed the care of a variety of patients with complicated pregnancies.

Fellows at Ohio State are able to develop areas of expertise, as the breadth of our patient population provides much diversity. Our fellows have the ability to design and complete clinical and basic research, with 18 months of protected time to ensure the completion of thesis work.
