The Fellowship in Family Planning at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine is an advanced subspecialty training program designed for OB/GYN physicians who wish to develop expertise in comprehensive reproductive healthcare. The program provides in-depth clinical training in contraception, abortion care, and management of complex family planning cases, including high-risk patients. Fellows gain extensive hands-on experience in both outpatient and hospital settings while working with multidisciplinary teams.
