SMFM Global Health Committee Abstract Mentorship Program

The SMFM Global Health Committee is working to improve communication and dissemination of obstetric research done by investigators from low- and middle-income countries by leveraging the expertise of SMFM members invested in mentoring. Authors planning to submit to SMFM’s 2027 Pregnancy Meeting who are interested in mentorship are invited to submit abstract drafts for editing & feedback, with focus on the abstract’s format, study design, analytical methods, and communication.
