Neonatal-Perinatal

The Neonatal-Perinatal Fellowship training program held jointly by Jefferson Medical College, Christiana Care Health System, and Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children provides a comprehensive training experience that will lead to a career in academic or clinical neonatology.

In order to achieve this goal, the program provides a well-rounded experience in the clinical care of critically ill newborns and extensive training in the principles of clinical and basic science research.

Rotations provide experience in the management of high-risk pregnancy; clinical care of the acutely ill newborn with medical, surgical, or cardiovascular diseases; as well as the long-term follow-up care of previously ill newborns.

Under faculty supervision, fellows are carefully guided through the preparation, implementation, data analysis, and publication of scholarly activity as required by the Sub-board of Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine of the American Board of Pediatrics.
