A challenging and innovative curriculum

Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Fellows have the option to feature some of the day-to day experiences and learnings for residents and fellows in your program. Fellows participate in Simulation and POCUS training, both in the delivery room and in the NICU.

Our fellowship program has the strong sense of autonomy we were given in managing complex patients, which has been invaluable for my growth as a clinician. The NICU staff here are exceptionally supportive and truly felt like family.
