Resident Scholars
The Resident Scholars Program provides mentoring and educational opportunities during the final two years of obstetrics and gynecology residency. It includes a stipend to attend two SMFM Pregnancy Meetings and a virtual biostatistics course. Residency institutions sponsor Scholars with a one-time $1,000 tuition payment to the Foundation for SMFM upon selection.
Applications open July 2025 and are due by September 16.
Made possible by grateful trainees, colleagues, friends, and family of Dr. Edward (Ted) Quilligan in honor of his transformational contributions to training, mentorship, and leadership in maternal-fetal medicine.
