New in 2026, we are pleased to offer a curriculum for practicing obstetric providers with two new courses. Basic Training in Reproductive Medical Genetics−Foundations in Genomics lays the groundwork for utilizing genetics concepts in general obstetric care. Basic Training in Reproductive Medical Genetics−Specialized Clinical Applications in Genomics integrates genomic medicine into obstetric specialties. With the same outstanding faculty, these courses are separate from the Basic Training curriculum for MFM and REI Fellows and designed for practicing providers. The asynchronous curriculum is available for one year from course launch. Follow the curriculum from start to finish or simply choose topics of interest, learning according to your schedule.
