Goals
The goals of our society are to promote and support research collaboration, communication, and teaching concerning the medical care of pregnant women. Although the society’s core membership are general internists, this joint Canadian and U.S. society’s members now include maternal fetal medicine physicians, anesthesiologists, neonatologists, general obstetricians, family doctors, and other specialists interested in the management of medical complications in pregnancy.
Meetings & Courses
The society holds an annual scientific meeting for members of the society and the interested medical community. These meetings are an opportunity to present completed research and research in progress, but the society also encourages the presentation of research proposals and interesting clinical cases for discussion.
The Society also offers biennial educational courses on "Medical Complications of Pregnancy" in affiliation with the American College of Physicians across the United States and Canada.
The society and its meetings provide a forum though which individuals with an interest in medical disease in pregnancy can meet and share clinical experiences, research projects and educational ideas with the hope that such interaction and the collaboration it inspires will lead to improvements in care of the medically compromised gravida at both the national and international level.
