Inova is committed to improving the outcomes of high-risk pregnancies through research and medical advances.

Multiple studies are being conducted at Inova, investigating the causes and new treatments for stillbirth, placenta accreta spectrum, autism risks, hypertension and many more. Study coordinators are on-site to discuss opportunities in which you may be eligible to participate. Research allows Inova to offer the newest and cutting-edge technology for your pregnancy.

Inova is committed to educating the next generation of leaders in women's health. Medical students, OB-GYN residents and subspecialty fellows come here to learn from our talented and dedicated maternal-fetal medicine faculty. Our graduates are located all across the country, but many stay right here in our community to meet the needs of Northern Virginia.
