Professor

You would join a small academic MFM division where faculty know each other's patients and work closely with trainees. The division spans senior faculty with decades in Memphis and early-career physicians trained in the program. As an experienced fetal specialist, you would help mentor early-career faculty and fellows.

Collaboration

Fetal cases often involve specialists across two hospitals. You would work with pediatric cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery at Le Bonheur. You would also work with the neonatology team that cares for babies at both sites.

On the maternal side, MFM faculty meet each morning to set the labor and delivery plan. In a fetal-focused role, attendance is optional, since your day starts in ultrasound.
