The Division of Maternal Fetal Medicine and Ultrasound provides comprehensive assessment, care and consultation to pregnant women and their physicians. We also contribute to the education of medical students and ob/gyn residents, in addition to offering a rigorous fellowship in maternal-fetal medicine. Our faculty are engaged in research at all levels, from understanding reproductive development and function to clinical trials aimed at decreasing incidents of preterm birth.
Our clinical mission
Care is provided at the Center for Outpatient Health and Barnes-Jewish Hospital at the Washington University-BJH Campus, the Center for Women’s Wellness at Missouri Baptist Medical Center, Progress West Hospital, O’Fallon, MO, and at Memorial East Hospital in Shiloh, IL. We seek to optimize the outcome for all pregnancies, regardless of risk, using an integrated care approach, cutting edge technology and coordination of care with referring physicians. Our services span pre-conceptional risk assessment and counseling, care during pregnancy and post-conceptional follow up. Care is supported by modern prenatal diagnosis technologies designed to enhance the assessment of fetal conditions and maximize reproductive options.
