This resource was developed by experts and SMFM members to address the growing problem of burnout among physicians. Thrive is free and open to everyone, including nonmembers of the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine. The online activities in Thrive consist of videos, links, didactic information, and interactive exercises that help learners recognize burnout and second victim syndrome; identify the individual and organizational factors that contribute to burnout; lead their organizations in creating a culture of wellness; and take personal actions to increase personal wellness and resilience.  

Reproductive planning is essential for all women and most important for those with complex health conditions or at high risk for complications. Pregnancy planning can allow these high-risk women the opportunity to receive preconception counseling, medication adjustment, and risk assessment related to health conditions that have a direct impact on maternal morbidity and mortality risk. The purpose of this course is to educate all providers, including maternal-fetal medicine subspecialists, about the benefits of postpartum contraception, and to advocate for widespread implementation of immediate postpartum LARC placement programs. 

This course is based on SMFM Consult #48: Immediate postpartum long-acting contraception for women at high risk of medical complications (February 2019).

One of the SMFM’s missions is career and practice support, and a large component of this is proper billing and coding practices. Coding is often an overlooked arena during fellowship training, as the focus is on research and clinical care. However, once physicians complete fellowship and start practice, they realize that coding and billing drive practice and organizational sustainability.  Practices cannot provide high-risk care without optimizing their payments and reimbursements. Given that there is no formal training in fellowship regarding practice management, this course serves as an introduction to basic coding concepts. It’s an ideal course for new MFM attendings or for those who want a refresher course on coding basics.
