About SMFM
The Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM) is the leading provider of clinical guidance, education, and advocacy for maternal-fetal medicine professionals and their patients. For over 40 years, SMFM has remained the only professional society exclusively focused on maternal-fetal medicine.

Postgraduate Courses
The SMFM Postgraduate Course curriculum offers education on both clinical and non-clinical topics, including genetic screening and diagnostics, medical management and complications during pregnancy, risk management strategies and critical care, record efficiency and data analytics, quality improvement and safety outcomes, institutional advocacy, and equitable approaches to reproductive health services within the practice of maternal-fetal medicine.

GLC is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
