Maternal Fetal Medicine Fellowship Program

Maternal Fetal Medicine team posed together at Henry Ford Health

Welcome to Henry Ford Health Maternal Fetal Medicine Fellowship Program. Our ACGME-accredited three year fellowship is designed to prepare you to become an outstanding maternal-fetal medicine subspecialist, capable of providing expert, compassionate care to pregnant patients with complex medical, surgical and obstetric conditions while advancing the field through scholarship and education.

At Henry Ford Hospital, you will train in quaternary care, urban academic health center that serves a socioeconomically and racially diverse patient population from Detroit and across southeastern Michigan. Our mission is closely aligned with that of Henry Ford Health and Michigan State University, with a focus on reducing unacceptably high rates of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. As a fellow, you will gain deep experience in managing high- acuity obstetric care while learning to advocate for equity and improved outcomes at the patient, system, and community levels.

The fellowship offers robust clinical training in antepartum and inpatient obstetrics, labor and delivery and consultative care for medical and surgical complications of pregnancy, along with comprehensive exposure to advanced prenatal ultrasound and fetal diagnosis. You will develop expertise in performing and interpreting high level obstetric imaging and serving as a trusted consultant to general obstetrician-gynecologists and other subspecialists across our health system. Our curriculum also integrates genetics, critical care, and multidisciplinary collaboration ensuring that you graduate ready to practice independently in a wide range of settings.

We place a strong emphasis on research and academic development, with twelve months of protected research time distributed throughout your three years of fellowship. Our fellowship provides you rich opportunities for mentorship and collaboration across Public Health Sciences and other departments. Fellows are supported in developing projects that address meaningful maternal fetal health challenges and are encouraged to present publish their work on regional and national stages.

Education is structured and intentional, with didactic sessions guided by the ABOG Guide to Learning Maternal Fetal Medicine, as well as conferences that include Grand Rounds, Maternal Critical Care Conference, Perinatal Conference, journal clubs and morbidity and mortality reviews. These activities are designed to reinforce core knowledge, sharpen clinical reasoning and prepare you comprehensively for subspecialty board certification. Our fellowship culture is collegial and collaborative; fellows are viewed as colleagues and future leaders, and our faculty are committed to your professional growth, wellness and career development.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about your fellowship. We hope you will consider joining us as we work to advance high-quality, equitable care for pregnant patients and their families in Detroit and beyond. We look forward to meeting you during the application and interview process, and we are happy to answer any questions you have as you explore whether Henry Ford Health is the right place for the next step in your training.

Sincerely,
