The ideal candidate will have extensive expertise in high-risk obstetrics, leadership, research, and foster collaboration. Currently, the division has 18 physicians and physician-scientists who practice across 2 Philadelphia locations as well as 7 additional locations in the greater Philadelphia region. Division faculty are fully involved in the supervision and staffing of the Labor and Delivery units at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania Hospital. More than 9,000 patients deliver annually at these hospitals, and the division provides comprehensive perinatal services for more than 22,000 deliveries annually. The antenatal testing units at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania Hospital perform more than 42,000 outpatient visits annually.

Clinical and research interests of the MFM division encompass the entire field of obstetrics, reproductive genetics, and maternal-fetal medicine including basic, translation, clinical and policy research. The division is one of 13 sites in the NICHD Maternal Fetal Medicine Units Network and one of five March of Dimes Prematurity Research Centers.
