UCSF Fetal Treatment Center
Dedicated to research and innovation in diagnosis and treatment
Multidisciplinary Approach
All the members of our multidisciplinary Fetal Treatment Center (FTC) team play an integral role in your care. The team includes clinicians involved in the direct care of patients as well as research fellows who are developing novel therapies in diagnosis and treatment of the fetus. Our team meets weekly to discuss your care, patient outcomes, birth results, and — equally important — to share recent research which ultimately may result in even more effective fetal interventions.
