The SMFM Program Committee welcomes all members to apply to volunteer to judge abstract presentations during the 2026 Pregnancy Meeting. No prior experience scientifically evaluating research is necessary; we are looking for those who can evaluate research from all perspectives, from researchers to clinicians. Judging the science presented at the Pregnancy Meeting also provides a way to engage with SMFM for those who may not have the bandwidth for committee service.


Those interested in judging must meet the respective criteria below to be considered:
  1. Be an SMFM member.
  2. Attend the Pregnancy Meeting in-person.*
  3. Researchers or those in clinical practice are welcome.
*Abstract presentations will take place Wednesday, February 11 at 8am through Friday, February 13 at 10:30am.

Deadline to apply by Monday, November 3, 2025.

Submitters will be notified of their application status in late November. For questions contact events@smfm.org.
