Fellowship in Maternal Fetal Medicine
David S. McKenna, M.D., Program Director

The Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine Maternal-Fetal Medicine Fellowship program is designed to train physicians to be the educators and leaders in the field of maternal-fetal medicine in the 21st century. The three-year program fulfills the objectives of the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology "Guide to Learning in Maternal-Fetal Medicine." Graduates will be eligible for subspecialty certification in maternal-fetal medicine.

The three-year curriculum consists of 12 months of clinical rotations and 20 months of protected research time. In addition, there are four months of elective time permitting fellows to tailor their educational experience to fit their interests. Unique opportunities exist to permit fellows to pursue intensive training in ultrasound, prenatal diagnosis, intrauterine fetal therapy, and clinical research in ultrasound, neonatal neurosonography, and an international health component. Fellows may obtain the advanced degree of Master of Public Health from the Boonshoft School of Medicine.

The Maternal-Fetal Medicine Fellowship program began in 2007 and received accreditation by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology in April 2008. The first fellow will commence training in July 2008 and is scheduled to graduate in 2011. The program is currently accepting applications for 2009 and will participate in the National Resident Matching Program subspecialty match. The application deadline is August 1, 2008. Interviews will be conducted in August and September. To apply, please download, fill out and return the signed Fellowship Application along with the supporting documentation.
