The Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) and Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility (REI) examinations are administered in June of years ending in odd numbers (for example, 2009, 2011, etc.).

If a candidate completes a fellowship in an "off year", that is, the candidate completes their fellowship in June when an examination is not administered (candidate completes MFM or REI fellowship in an even numbered year), they must delay taking the written examination for one year.

For such candidates ONLY, they will be allowed to commence case collection for their oral examination in January PRIOR to taking the written examination in June. If they are successful in passing the written examination, the case collection started in January may be continued through December 31 of the same year and submitted for the oral examination administered the following year.
