Fellowship in Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Our ACGME-approved fellowship program in maternal-fetal medicine is a three-year program designed to qualify the candidate for advanced certification in Maternal Fetal Medicine by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG). Our program is approved to accept one fellow annually. The Director of the MFM Fellowship at the UT Health San Antonio is Dr. Nora Doyle. Dr. Angela Boyd is the Associate MFM fellowship Director.

Fellows completing our program will have a comprehensive skill set to allow them to serve as a consultant to other obstetric and non-obstetric providers. These skills are gained through clinical experiences, engagement in departmental/institutional quality improvement projects, participation in root-cause analyses, and peer-review.

Extensive basic science and clinical resources are available through the department and institution for fellow research and thesis endeavors. Fellows are provided with training in critical review of the literature and regularly engage in manuscript for review for one or more journals in obstetrics and gynecology. Additional unique attributes of our program include fellow participation in our South Texas Center for Placenta Accreta Spectrum, Comprehensive Zika center, Perinatal Palliative Care Program, and Multidisciplinary Maternal Cardiac Care Clinic.

Fellows in the program are also required to participate in regional/state efforts to improve maternal and fetal/infant mortality. In addition, fellows are provided with an opportunity to participate in regional and state-level advocacy and quality improvement efforts (fetal infant mortality review, regional and state perinatal advisory council, March of Dimes, etc). These additional aspects of training provide additional breadth and experiences to allow the fellow to experience the full spectrum of an academic MFM consultant.
