| Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) is a subspecialty of Obstetrics and Gynecology that focuses on the management of high-risk pregnancies. An MFM specialist has received two to three years of additional education and training to gain special competence in various obstetrical, medical, and surgical complications of pregnancy. This training and technical proficiency enables the specialist to provide the extra care or consultation required for both mother and fetus in complicated obstetric situations. Division Activities
