OB/GYN Track

The mission of the Boston Medical Center (BMC) OB Addiction Medicine Fellowship is to prepare Obstetrician/ Gynecologists for clinical and academic careers in OB/GYN Addiction Medicine with a concentration in the emerging field of Perinatal Addiction Medicine. The fellowship is designed to provide graduates with the expertise to innovate and incorporate SUD treatment within the field of OB/GYN for women throughout their life stages.

The educational goals of this unique fellowship focus on developing and enhancing addiction prevention and treatment services for women with SUDs who are particularly vulnerable to health disparity by virtue of race, culture, poverty, age, pregnancy status, disability, or stigmatizing illness.

The OB Addiction medicine Fellowship aims to:

1. Train a pipeline of expert Obstetrician-Gynecologists in clinical research, healthcare advocacy, perioperative management, perinatal care, and general OB/GYN care for women with SUDs who will lead system-level changes to improve health outcomes for marginalized women.
2. Provide fellows with personalized training and professional development focused on health disparities in urban, impoverished and minority populations through intensive faculty mentorship and diverse training sites.
3. Advance skills in patient care and knowledge of clinical preventive medicine through targeted clinical rotations at Boston Medical Center, New England’s largest safety-net hospital and selected community partners.
