Special Features
The Maternal-Fetal Medicine Fellowship prepares future leaders in high-risk obstetrics through comprehensive clinical training, scholarly inquiry, and a commitment to health equity. Fellows gain expertise in complex maternal and fetal conditions, advanced obstetric ultrasound, fetal diagnosis, fetal procedures, and multidisciplinary care across two complementary training sites: Valleywise Health, a high-volume public safety-net hospital, and Dignity Health St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center, a tertiary referral center. The program emphasizes progressive autonomy, evidence-based practice, research, quality improvement, and compassionate, patient-centered care for diverse patient populations.
