Ph.D. in Fetal Anatomy is a specialized study program that examines the development and structure of the fetus from conception to pregnancy. The program typically lasts 3 to 5 years and covers topics such as fetal development, embryology, teratology (the study of abnormalities), prenatal growth, and the influence of genetics in fetal morphology. Students do original research to learn how fetal structures form, function, and how developmental defects might result in congenital diseases or disorders. The program covers training in anatomy, embryology, genetics, and research technique, which culminates in a dissertation. Graduates frequently pursue employment in academics, medical research, obstetrics and gynecology, and prenatal diagnostics
