Training Requirements and Overall Structure of Rotations

Research training with model

Training Requirements

The fellow is expected to advance in clinical skills from competence in sonographic skills, for needle guided procedure and fetoscopic procedures. The competence is assessed regularly with focused training in skills as required. To graduate the fellow must prove competence in basic to complex fetal procedures as assessed by the fetal intervention faculty. The fellow will be required to be active in ongoing research, which includes several locally and federally funded clinical and translational research projects. It is anticipated that a minimum of one major project directed by the fellow will be completed and a manuscript developed over the course of the program.
