The Fellowship in Complex Family Planning at NewYork-Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medicine provides excellent training in complex clinical care, research, education, and advocacy. Fellows will train at a tertiary referral center with a highly diverse patient population from New York City and beyond. Our mission is to train and mentor the next generation of leaders in Complex Family Planning.
Clinical care and fellowship training will primarily occur at our campuses on the Upper East Side, Manhattan and in Flushing, Queens. In addition to team-based care for individual patients, we collaborate with partners at Cornell University in Ithaca, Hospital for Special Surgery, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and the Population Council’s Center for Biomedical Research at Rockefeller University.
The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Division of Complex Family Planning at Weill Cornell Medicine are recognized as leaders in clinical excellence, research, and education.
