Since 1991, the Maternal Child Health (MCH) Fellowship has trained clinical leaders in family-centered MCH care who provide coordinated and comprehensive services to vulnerable and underserved populations. While learning to organize, direct and evaluate community-oriented MCH programs as part of a multidisciplinary team, the fellows serve as junior attendings in the department of Family Medicine.
Through partnership with local outpatient health clinical sites, we are working to restructure health-care delivery systems for women and children in the surrounding underserved communities.
