Description
This fellowship, offered through the Foundation for SMFM's Queenan Global Health Awards, supports early-career maternal–fetal medicine (MFM) professionals in conducting mentored research at a Geneva-based international agency. The program is designed to nurture future leaders in perinatal and maternal–fetal health, particularly in the context of low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Fellows participate in both virtual and in-person activities, collaborating with senior scientists on projects such as developing global guidelines, conducting systematic reviews, and contributing to policy initiatives in global health. The fellowship is highly flexible, allowing participants to tailor the balance between remote and on-site engagement according to their personal and professional constraints. The program aligns with the Foundation for SMFM’s mission to advance innovation, leadership, and equity in global obstetric care.
