In 2010, she started her three-year specialization under the supervision of Prof. Kypros Nicolaides in fetal medicine and fetal endoscopic surgery at King's College Hospital, London. Her diploma from 2012 is for fetal medicine and the field's first trimester screening test for chromosomal abnormalities, fetal morphology in the second gestational trimester, the monitoring of high-risk pregnancies (singleton and multiple), Doppler screening, and cervical evaluation.
