Shannon Thompson MD, MSCI

Shannon Thompson, MD, MSCI, is a Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialist at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Her approach to patient care involves working as a team with her patients (and their families) to ensure that the plan they make together works for them noting, “Patients should always feel that they have a voice, and it is my goal to ensure that they feel heard and feel central in all decisions that we make together”.

While she enjoys all areas of Maternal-Fetal Medicine, some of her specific clinical interests include Adult Congenital Heart Disease, multifetal gestations (twins, and higher-order multiples), and complex deliveries (breech extraction of the second twin, operative vaginal delivery). Her research interests include Adult Congenital Heart Disease in the setting of Pregnancy, fetal anomalies, and fetal growth restriction. Her thesis project for the Maternal-Fetal Medicine fellowship investigated the association between pregnancy and long-term cardiac events in individuals with congenital heart disease.
