Abstract

This survey study was conducted to better consider ways that the Society of Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM) can increase their international outreach. Most survey respondents indicated that international representation could be improved and cited barriers of cost and physical distance to annual meetings. This study highlights support for continuation of virtual conferencing to improve international representation and proposes a hybrid model of scientific engagement moving forward.
