Neonatal-Perinatal Fellowship Program
Overview and mission
The mission of the Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Fellowship Program of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is:
- To develop outstanding clinicians with solid background in physiology, pathophysiology and evidence-based practices in neonatology;
- To provide a high-quality scholarly experience that contributes to the scientific community; and
- To promote the choice of an academic career in neonatology.
This is accomplished through comprehensive clinical training in the care of sick neonates in both the inborn and outborn setting. We offer:
- A structured curriculum for continuous education in fetal and neonatal physiology and pathophysiology, biostatistics and epidemiology, evidence-based practices and academic career development; and
- A mentored research experience leading to a peer-reviewed publication, or thesis toward completion of an advanced degree.
The program includes the perinatal services at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and quaternary referral services at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Upon completion, the fellow is eligible for certification by the sub-board of neonatal-perinatal medicine of the American Board of Pediatrics.
