Abstract

Objective: The study aimed to assess the current state of medical genetics and genomics (MGG) education amongst maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) program directors (PDs) and clinical fellows.Methods: An online questionnaire was generated and distributed to all current program directors and fellows in ACGME-accredited MFM fellowships across the USA in 2018.Results: A total of 13 program directors and 54 MFM fellows responded to our survey. Of the respondents, 73% of the MFM fellows mentioned having dedicated structured MGG rotations as part of their training. Only 12% of fellows reported a high level of satisfaction with their programs' structured MGG rotations and almost 40% reported dissatisfaction, compared to 56% of PDs who reported very high satisfaction. Furthermore, 84% of PDs reported high levels of satisfaction with MGG didactics currently in place compared to only 24% of fellows sharing the same opinion. When compared to PDs, fellows reported a significantly lower satisfaction score toward their MGG rotations (p < .05) and didactic sessions (p < .05). More than 62% of PDs were satisfied with the number of MGG-faculty in their division compared to 80% of fellows who thought more faculty is needed. Thirty-eight percent of PD...Continue Reading
