Maternal Fetal Medicine Fellowship
Conferences
The didactic program is led by faculty (MFM, other UTGSM clinicians, and scientists) and covers milestones and breadth of MFM practice. Fellows are also encouraged to attend weekly Morbidity and Mortality Conference; quarterly Journal Club to discuss articles handpicked by fellows; and weekly Grand Rounds in which faculty or visiting professors present updates of various topics of interest germane to the practice of ob/gyn.
Fellows participate and take a leadership role in the department’s robust continuing education program. The atmosphere of the department is one of dedication to the fellows’ education. There are 10 full time MFM faculty members.

Medical Simulation
Simulation is the imitation of real-life experience including the use of task and virtual reality trainers, as well as standardized patients to refine technical and clinical skills of healthcare professionals. At the UT Center for Advanced Medical Simulation, the goal is continual improvement in quality of patient care and safety through education, practice, and assessment. Simulation can replicate almost any diagnostic or therapeutic situation, from simple IV insertions using low-fidelity task technology to complicated surgeries using high-fidelity, computerized manikins or virtual reality modules.
