Maternal Fetal Medicine Faculty

Maternal Fetal Medicine Faculty

University Health Physicians, an academic group practice affiliated with the University of Missouri-Kansas City School Of Medicine in conjunction with its major teaching facility Truman Medical Centers/University Health (TMC/UH).

University Health Truman Medical Center is the only Level IV designated maternal care center in western Missouri and has a brand new state of the art Level 3 NICU and newly remodeled Labor and Delivery, postpartum and OB Emergency Room.

University Health Physicians and the UMKC Department of OB/GYN seek a BC/BE Maternal Fetal Medicine faculty member to join our very busy practice serving high acuity patients. The position reports to the Chair of OB/GYN, Anthony Odibo, MD, who serves as the academic chair for the UMKC SOM and clinical chair for UH.

The Maternal-Fetal Medicine fellowship program has a long academic tradition and currently has one fellow per year. The fellows rotate at three Kansas City hospitals, providing clinical care for high-risk patients, performing clinical, bench, and translational research, and mentoring residents and students.

Physicians and hospitals must collaborate in today's complex healthcare environment to achieve excellence in clinical quality, patient safety, and service quality. We can achieve this kind of partnership by collaborating with local and regional doctors and facilities to ensure high-quality patient care for mothers and babies.

At University Health, we offer exciting research and academic achievement prospects, guided by our esteemed faculty, who lead various projects alongside our fellows and residents. Several of these initiatives have culminated in publications in major journals pertinent to our specialty.

Kansas City is recognized as one of America's Most Livable Cities. This vibrant community located in the heart of the Midwest has all the amenities of the city while retaining the friendliness and relaxed atmosphere of Midwestern living.
