Education

The Section of Perinatal Medicine trains fellows in Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine. We also offer courses to nurses, nurse practitioners and physician assistants.

Our fellowship training program is open to pediatricians who have completed residency training and are interested in clinical neonatology and developmental biology. It is structured as a 3 year experience and is fully accredited by the American Board of Pediatrics for certification in Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine.

Clinical training
This is obtained in the Newborn Special Care Unit of the Yale-New Haven Children's Hospital, the regional neonatal referral center for Southern Connecticut. The unit provides tertiary care to infants with a wide variety of medical, surgical, and cardiac problems. Exposure to cardiology, pre and post-operative care, ECMO, follow-up, and high-risk obstetrics is provided.

Research
The goal of research training, which is supported by a grant from the NIH, is to provide the fellow with the necessary knowledge and experience to begin an academic career. Two research paths are offered:

Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Minority physicians are encouraged to apply.
