Welcome to Albany Medical College
On behalf of our entire team, I would like to thank you for your interest in Albany Medical College's Fellowship in Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM). We are very proud of the program we have created and welcome you to explore the unique opportunities we provide.
Our program is designed to provide comprehensive training in high-risk obstetrics, fetal medicine, and advanced ultrasound, while also fostering academic growth and research opportunities. We are committed to providing an enriching experience that will allow you to become an expert in this field, while also encouraging a collaborative and supportive learning environment.
As the Regional Perinatal Center, our team serves a large and diverse population of medically challenging obstetrical patients. Our hospital has a Level 4 NICU, Level 1 trauma center, multiple pediatric and medical sub-specialties, as well as specialized perinatal palliative care teams.
Our fellows gain a thorough knowledge of statistics, experimental design and critical appraisal of the literature. We provide our fellows with opportunities for research in clinical, qualitative, and basic sciences. Each of our fellows complete several projects during their fellowship training and are provided ample protected time to complete their thesis requirement.
Our ultrasound curriculum balances performance and interpretation of first trimester scans, basic and detailed anatomy ultrasounds, fetal echocardiography, and Doppler studies. Fellows will also receive hands-on training in genetic amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling (CVS), and multi-fetal pregnancy reduction.
Within our curriculum we have opportunities for formal and informal mentorship, involvement with quality improvement projects, opportunities for education of medical students and residents, as well as the option to focus on other specific interests you may have. Our goal is not only to ensure your clinical proficiency but also to cultivate your skills as a future leader in maternal and fetal care.
Thank you for your interest in the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Fellowship at Albany Medical College.
We look forward to meeting you!
Sincerely,
Tara A. Lynch, MD MS
