Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Fellowship Program
Overview
The goal of this program is to prepare post-doctoral fellows for an academic career in neonatal-perinatal medicine.
Fellows are provided with a structured curriculum that provides extensive education in perinatal physiology, clinical neonatology, and research methods, and includes completion of a research project mentored by an experienced faculty member.
Upon completion of the program, qualified fellows are eligible for certification by the American Board of Pediatrics Sub-board of Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine.
Brief History
More history
The Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Fellowship Program was begun in 1961 by Dr. Arnold J. Rudolph. It was one of the first such fellowship programs established in the United States, and is currently among the largest academic neonatology training programs.
Today, as many as 18 full-time fellows are in training. The 144 fellows who have graduated the program account for over 4 percent of the neonatologists in the nation. During the last five years, fellows in training have published more than 50 peer-reviewed articles, presented their research at national and regional scientific meetings, and received awards and national recognition from organizations including the Section of Perinatal Pediatrics of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
