The University of Connecticut School of Medicine's Complex Family Planning Fellowship Program was approved in 2024. It is a two-year training program accredited through the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). The goal of the program is to prepare the fellow for an academic or practice career in Complex Family Planning.

Candidates must also have passed the USMLE Step 3 exam.
Training Program Oversight
Graduate medical training programs of the University of Connecticut School of Medicine are managed through the Capital Area Health Consortium and Graduate Medical Education Office of the University of Connecticut School of Medicine.

Program Faculty
The Complex Family Planning Fellowship faculty are located at two primary training sites – UConn John Dempsey Hospital and Hartford Hospital. The faculty members are full-time staff at their respective sites and are actively involved in clinical care, education and clinical research. In addition to the Complex Family Planning Fellowship faculty, the program relies on involvement of faculty in important related subspecialty areas of Public Health Sciences, Maternal Fetal Medicine, Genetics, Anesthesiology, and Social Work for the fellows training. The University of Connecticut School of Medicine and Hartford Hospital have residency and fellowship training programs in all the major medical and surgical fields whose faculty are available for input in the fellow’s training and management of medically complicated patients.
