Board (American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology) certified maternal-fetal medicine sub-specialists have an additional two-three years training in MFM. The Society's primary objectives are to promote and expand research and education in maternal-fetal medicine. Congenital heart defects, genetic disorders, preeclampsia, and complications of preterm labor and delivery are a few examples of disorders that maternal-fetal medicine sub-specialists treat.
