Hi,

Your post made me curious as to the difference. I found this online:

1. The definition of a perinatologist A perinatologist, also sometimes called a Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) specialist, is an obstetrician who has completed a four-year residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology, plus two to three years of additional training (called a fellowship) in Maternal-Fetal Medicine. A certified fellowship training program involves additional study, research, and treatment of patients with high-risk pregnancies. These doctors spend time learning advanced ultrasound, fetal therapy, amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling, cordocentesis, and specialized patient care. A perinatologist must graduate from a training program and meet certain requirements for certification in Maternal-Fetal Medicine. These doctors use the most up-to-date procedures and ultrasound equipment available. Each year, they attend special medical conferences for Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialists. They are also required to keep up-to-date on the latest technology and research.
