Services Overview
The MCCPOP is a program of the California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative (CMQCC), located at Stanford University School of Medicine, Division of Neonatal and Developmental Medicine. Our MCCPOP faculty leaders include neonatologists and maternal fetal medicine specialists who consult on perinatal clinical care questions and provide education on current standards of care for mothers, birthing people, and newborns. These leaders partner with CPQCC as well as other physician specialists at Stanford Medicine to provide a full spectrum of expertise, supporting high quality care before, during, and post pregnancy. In addition, MCCPOP offers timely continuing education courses for nurses, nurse practitioners, nurse midwives, physicians, and other health care professionals, via an eLearning platform.
