Program Details

Length of Program

This is a two-year clinical Fellowship for general internists seeking advanced training in medical disorders of pregnancy focusing on specific areas such as endocrinology, cardiology, hematology, rheumatology, gastroenterology, and obesity.

Pre-requisites

Individuals applying for this fellowship must have graduated from an approved Internal Medicine residency program. We also welcome international applicants but they will need to have qualifications equivalent to the above as well as satisfy requirements for a work visa and the ECFMG requirements to enter a fellowship training.

Goals of the Program

  • Fellows work in both the inpatient and outpatient settings on the Medicine Consultation Service at Women & Infants Hospital to acquire knowledge in the physiology of normal pregnancy and the pathophysiology of diseases occurring in pregnancy and postpartum.
  • Learn to diagnose and treat medical complications of the pregnancy.
  • Learn to be an effective consultant to obstetricians, gynecologists, and other internists and sub-specialists.
  • Develop practical teaching skills through the supervision of senior medical residents and medical students.
  • Fellows will also complete research projects in the area of medical problems in pregnancy. With the assistance of a faculty advisor, it is expected that the work will be presented at a national or international meeting and published in a peer-reviewed journal.
 
Completion of the program:
