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.
