Current Fellows

We are proud to now accept three of the brightest, future MFM leaders into the Thomas Jefferson University Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) Fellowship. 

Learn why our fellows chose Thomas Jefferson University for their MFM fellowship and what inspires them as they pursue their passion for helping others through medicine.

Erin Miller, MD - FEL1
New York University Long Island School of Medicine OBGYN Residency

I rotated at Jefferson as a third-year OB/GYN resident and was immediately drawn to the positivity, collaboration, and warmth within the division. Even during my short time here, I experienced the mentorship and support that Jefferson extends to all trainees. It was clear that the department is deeply committed to evidence-based medicine while remaining closely connected to the diverse population it serves in Philadelphia. The strong research and academic opportunities further reinforced my belief that Jefferson would provide a comprehensive, multifaceted approach to learning maternal-fetal medicine. Philadelphia is home for me, and I was thrilled to join an exceptional clinical community in the city I love.

Giuliana Rivera Casul, MD - FEL1
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center OBGYN Residency

I chose Jefferson because of its commitment to advancing equitable care for diverse and vulnerable populations—not only within the city but also through global health engagement. Its robust research support matches that same dedication to improving the health and wellbeing of our patients and communities. I was also drawn to the department's genuine excitement for the work, the approachability of faculty, and the real investment in fellows' individual career goals. These qualities align with both my personal values and my career aspirations.

Stephanie Schreiber-Gonzalez, DO - FEL1
Ascension St. Alexius OBGYN Residency

Jefferson immediately stood out to me because of its longstanding reputation and the opportunity to train alongside some of the field's most respected clinicians and researchers. Upon meeting the faculty and fellows, I could easily see that this is a program where I could thrive both professionally and personally. What stood out to me most was the tight-knit camaraderie between faculty and fellows with a shared enthusiasm for learning and teaching. It was clear that mentorship extends beyond clinical training into both research and personal life. The combination of exceptional clinical experience, research opportunities, family-like culture, and emphasis on patient care made Jefferson feel like the perfect place to continue my training.

Leshae Cenac, MD - FEL2
Mercy Health St. Vincent Medical Center OBGYN Residency

I had the opportunity to rotate at Jeff as a third-year OBGYN resident and immediately felt a strong sense of community within the division. The program’s commitment to evidence-based medicine, hands-on procedural and ultrasound training, and supportive academic mentorship created an ideal environment for both personal and professional development. I was particularly interested in the chance to incorporate substance use disorder treatment into my training, an area I am deeply passionate about that will enable me to provide more comprehensive care to my future patients. Living in a vibrant city like Philly, full of character and charm, was an added bonus.

Eileen Wang-Koehler, MD - FEL2
Hospital of University of Pennsylvania OBGYN Residency

I chose Jefferson for MFM fellowship because of its intimate, hands-on clinical and research training in a city I love. What stands out to me most is how deeply invested everyone is in your personal education, wellness and mentorship. The environment is welcoming, down-to-earth, and collaborative — it truly feels like a family. Having completed both undergrad and residency in Philadelphia, I’ve developed a strong connection to the city and its diverse, high-risk patient population. I’m especially grateful to continue work in advancing health equity here. Philly feels like home, and Jefferson is the ideal place for me to grow as a clinician, researcher, and advocate.

Sonia Biswas, DO - FEL3
Monmouth Medical Center OBGYN Residency

I chose Jefferson because of its outstanding reputation for providing comprehensive, hands-on training in a collaborative, patient-centered environment. The program’s strong emphasis on evidence based medicine, research opportunities, and exposure to a diverse patient population aligned with my goals for fellowship. Additionally, the culture at Jefferson creates an inviting, collaborative environment that encourages professional growth and I feel extremely grateful to work with the people I work with. 

HoangYen Nguyen, MD - FEL3
Loma Linda University Health Education Consortium OBGYN Residency

One of the main reasons that I chose Jefferson MFM Fellowship is because of its strong emphasis on research. The opportunity to collaborate with experts and passionate colleagues in MFM offers the perfect environment for me to grow and contribute to the field. In addition, Jefferson values hands-on learning for fellows, from inpatient management and clinics to ultrasounds. The didactic curriculum of the Jefferson fellowship program is exceptionally well-structured and comprehensive, offering a perfect balance of theory and practical application. Furthermore, Jefferson is a tight-knit family. Everyday coming to work feels like a breeze, as not only do I get to learn, but also hanging out with friends and family.
