Rural Maternal Child Health Fellowship

The West Virginia University Rural Maternal Child Health Fellowship is a non-accredited, non-traditional ACGME fellowship program. Our central goal is to prepare family medicine physicians to practice advanced obstetrical and newborn care in a rural community setting.

The fellowship aims to train physicians to competently perform cesarean sections and supply support to both obstetricians and certified nurse midwives. Our focus is not solely surgical, but also to sustain and strengthen maternity services in rural communities.

The curriculum includes practical didactic components and supervised rural experiences including direct deliveries and perinatal rural community outreach.
