maternal-fetal medicine fellowship

HIROC is very proud to be part of the University of Tennessee Graduate School of Medicine's Maternal-Fetal Medicine fellowship program. The program trains OB/GYN physicians to be maternal-fetal medicine sub-specialists. Fellows will see patients in our office and at UT Medical Center alongside our physicians, nurse practitioners, sonographers, and genetic counselor.

The three-year fellowship is approved by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and the American Board of Obstetrics & Gynecology (ABOG). All fellows have completed an accredited four-year OB/GYN residency program. Click here to learn more about the Graduate School of Medicine's fellowship program.
