The Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) Fellowship at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai provides trainees with a comprehensive educational program with education in all aspects of maternal and fetal medicine. Our institution is conveniently located on the border of the Upper East Side of Manhattan and East Harlem. Our geographic location allows us to care for patients from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds with varied maternal and fetal complexity. The Mount Sinai MFM fellowship provides extensive training in the management of various medical/surgical conditions while utilizing an interdisciplinary approach in caring for our patients.
We provide extensive training in the following areas:
- Fetal diagnosis and therapy
- Ultrasound and fetal echocardiography
- Invasive ultrasound (CVS, amniocentesis, fetal blood sampling, multifetal pregnancy reduction, kcl terminations, RFA procedures etc.)
- Prenatal genetics / genomics
- Translational, epidemiological, and clinical research
- Complex maternal care
- Labor and Delivery management
- Intensive care
- Placenta Accreta Spectrum disorder
- Gynecologic ultrasonography
- Infectious Disease
- Maternal complex CHD
- Substance Use Disorder
Curriculum
In addition to hands on learning fellows learn to manage complicated conditions through a combination of formal didactic lectures and interdisciplinary conferences with representation from pediatric cardiology, genetics, neonatology, anesthesia and multiple surgical subspecialities.
The fellow-run (MFM attending supervised) ultrasound clinic is one of the most unique opportunities for fellows to develop ultrasound skills and learn how to manage an ultrasound unit.
Through elective and fellow-driven research, our program allows trainees the opportunity to focus on a variety of areas including genetics, fetal echocardiography, infectious diseases, ultrasound-guided procedures, and biostatistics.
The MFM faculty provide mentorship opportunities from the outset, additionally we employ dedicated MFM research coordinators and a team of biostatistician/epidemiologists that assist with all research activities including design, recruitment, data procurement and analysis. We hold regular research meetings to provide updates and guidance throughout the fellowship. We are proud of the significant number of oral and poster presentations at national meetings, including SMFM, AIUM, ACOG, and SRI.
Our fellowship follows all required guidelines and is certified by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).
Our graduating fellows have a long history of continuation in academic medicine and continued research, as well as the opportunity to advance their careers in ways that best fit their personal lives. With the education and experience gleaned from fellowship, our fellows are well trained to practice in any environment with the ability to make outstanding clinical decisions and perform difficult advanced procedures.
