RESIDENCIES & FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMS

Message From The Director

The Maternal-Fetal Medicine Fellowship at The Mount Sinai Hospital is an accredited three-year program providing trainees with comprehensive education in all facets of maternal and fetal medicine. Training at The Mount Sinai Hospital, trainees care for patients from a variety of backgrounds, encompassing a wide scope of maternal and fetal complexity. Fellows use an interdisciplinary, team-based approach to manage various medical/surgical conditions, developing expertise in diagnosis, management, and advanced procedural skills. Accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), our program prepares fellows to become experts in the field of maternal-fetal medicine.

Upon completion of our program, our fellows will be confident in performing invasive ultrasound procedures, detailed first and second trimester anatomical surveys, cesarean hysterectomies, and the management of critically ill obstetric patients. Our distinctive fellow-run ultrasound clinic enhances the clinical expertise and leadership skills needed in their future careers.

Angela Bianco, MD
PROFESSOR | Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Science

Angela Bianco, MD, is a board-certified maternal-fetal medicine specialist and System Director of Maternal-Fetal Medicine.

The fellowship provides extensive training in fetal diagnosis and therapy, with particular emphasis on ultrasound and fetal echocardiography. Fellows gain expertise in invasive ultrasound procedures including chorionic villus sampling, amniocentesis, fetal blood sampling, multifetal pregnancy reduction, intracardiac potassium chloride procedures, and radiofrequency ablation. The curriculum also integrates prenatal genetics and genomics, gynecologic ultrasonography, and the management of complex conditions including placenta accreta spectrum disorder, maternal complex congenital heart disease, substance use disorder, and infectious diseases.

Fellows develop expertise in complex maternal care, labor and delivery management, and intensive care through direct clinical experience. They participate in high-risk specialty clinics, including cardio maternal-fetal medicine and endocrine maternal-fetal medicine. They gain experience managing interdisciplinary care teams for placenta accreta spectrum and other complex maternal and fetal conditions. One of the program’s signature offerings is the fellow-run ultrasound clinic, supervised by maternal-fetal medicine faculty. This model allows trainees to develop advanced ultrasound skills while learning the leadership skills required to manage a high-volume ultrasound unit.

In addition to hands-on clinical training, fellows develop expertise in managing complicated conditions through a comprehensive didactic curriculum. This includes formal lectures and interdisciplinary conferences with representation from faculty in pediatric cardiology, genetics, neonatology, anesthesia, and multiple surgical subspecialities. Our faculty provide mentorship during each fellow’s research experience, with dedicated research coordinators, biostatisticians, and epidemiologists available to assist with study design, recruitment, data procurement, and analysis. Regular research meetings throughout the fellowship ensure ongoing support, often culminating in multiple oral and poster presentations at national meetings.

Applications for the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Fellowship at The Mount Sinai Hospital are accepted through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS®). Required applications materials include:

  • A completed ERAS application
  • Three letters of recommendation
  • Personal statement
  • United State Medical Licensing Exam or Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination of the United States transcripts
