The division includes our five clinical faculty and a nurse practitioner. We coordinate our research programming with PhDs within our department and the division of neonatology. Development of research skills and appreciation of evidence is facilitated through coursework in the Clinical and Translation Science Program. Several faculty members are Best Doctors® and Top Doctors® in America. The division has a cohesive and inclusive work culture with an exceptional history of quality, safety, and effectiveness in patient care. Annually, we perform more than 12,000 ultrasound and Doppler examinations at approximately 15 clinical sites across the Commonwealth. Two monthly multi-disciplinary meetings enhance teamwork and communication with the first aimed at antepartum care for complex fetal cases reviewing ultrasound findings and fetal malformation sequences, while the second provides a classic clinicopathologic approach to investigate outcomes. Fellows are expected to participate actively in the monthly labor and delivery quality and safety committee. It is a dynamic educational opportnity for trainees. 

The division has research foci in substance use care and the development of novel therapeutic approaches for prevention of preterm birth and pre-eclampsia including investigator-initiated and industry trials. Our aim is to improve obstetrical care by enhancing specificity between pathophysiology and intervention through the use of biomarkers. This drive toward personalized medicine will enhance confidence in treatments offered by MFM specialists. Over the last few years, division members have contributed to publications which have had a major impact.
