Current Fellows

Each year, we are proud to accept two 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.

Leshae Cenac, MD - FEL1
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 - FEL1
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 - FEL2
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 - FEL2
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.

Sophie Green, MD - FEL3
Indiana University School of Medicine OBGYN Residency

I chose Jefferson because of their excellent opportunities for mentorship and research. I also realized that MFM fellowship at Jefferson would provide a wide breadth of clinical and procedural experience, all while affording me the opportunity to live in one of the best cities on the East Coast! I also love the supportive environment created by having five co-fellows. 

Kavisha Khanuja, MD - FEL3
Thomas Jefferson Univeristy Hospital OBGYN Residency

I chose Jefferson for my MFM fellowship because of the exceptional training experience I had during residency, which made me eager to stay on for fellowship. The program offers unparalleled support from faculty who are deeply invested in your learning and development, dedicating their time to ensure you receive the best possible training. By having two fellows per year, the program provides an intimate, hands-on learning environment that fosters both professional and personal growth. Additionally, being located in a diverse urban setting allows exposure to a wide range of pathologies, enhancing the breadth and depth of clinical experience. This combination of mentorship, structure, and diversity made Jefferson the ideal choice for my fellowship.
