The Maternal-Fetal Medicine Fellowship at the University of Iowa Health Care Medical Center is a three-year ACGME-accredited program that aims to prepare graduates as subspecialists in maternal-fetal medicine and equip them with advanced clinical and research skills.

The purpose of the fellowship program is twofold. First, the graduate of the fellowship program is expected to function as a subspecialist in maternal-fetal medicine. Second, the graduate of the fellowship program is expected to be trained in advanced clinical and/or basic research and, thus, capable of expanding the knowledge base of this subspecialty.

Fellows will receive a minimum of 12 months of clinical training in Maternal and Fetal Medicine and a minimum of 12 months of protected time for research. Additionally, each fellow will be assigned a one-month rotation in the medical intensive care unit and assume the role of supervisor on the labor and delivery unit for a two-month rotation. Finally, nine months of electives focusing on specific clinical rotations or research will also be assigned to each fellow under the direction of the program director.

Our fellowship includes six core faculty members and are comprised of Iowa’s most experienced maternal-fetal medicine team who strive to train the future of academic leaders in maternal-fetal medicine. Our core faculty actively participate in our fellowship teaching which occurs in the clinical setting, through didactics, journal club, conferences, staffing, grand rounds and mentor meetings.

Applications are accepted through ERAS. We currently match residents trained in obstetrics and gynecology.
