Special Features
Our fellows become thriving neonatologists in an 80-bed level IV unit with approximately 9000 in-house deliveries per year, under the guidance and expertise of junior and seasoned neonatologists. Our fellows have access to state-of-the-art clinical and research training in neurodevelopmental follow-up at the longest-running follow-up clinic in the US. Fellows also participate in clinical, basic science and public health/health services research. We offer protected educational time for board review, as well as rotating education in simulation (procedure practice, transport simulation, difficult conversations, to name a few), POCUS, QI and palliative care, in conjunction with their academic half day.
