"Welcome to the Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine at the UC San Diego. Our division has a large number of exceptional clinician-educators, as well as basic science, translational, and clinical investigators. We provide clinical care for those with complicated pregnancies, consultation for patients referred by other obstetrical providers, prenatal imaging and diagnostic procedures. The division has specific interests in placental disorders, diabetes, hypertension, and fetal imaging, with faculty leading active research programs in these areas. We have a highly regarded training program in maternal-fetal medicine, which continues to produce the next generation of academic and clinical perinatologists."
