Target Audience and Needs

Faculty physicians and trainees in the fields of obstetrics and gynecology, maternal fetal medicine, primary care, and internal medicine need to receive regular updates on current practice guidelines for obstetric and gynecologic care and recent advances in maternal fetal therapies.  The series aims to advance the coordination of care for complex and high-risk obstetric patients by enhancing prenatal counseling and fetal surveillance, applying appropriate obstetric management strategies and fetal therapy options, and developing individualized delivery plans for fetuses with special needs.  Overall, the series aims to improve the diagnosis and treatment of common and complex obstetric and gynecologic conditions and, consequently, maternal and fetal outcomes.
