University of Connecticut Program
About This Program
The Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Fellowship is a three-year ACGME-accredited program consisting of 39 four-week blocks. Training includes Level IV and III NICU care, neonatal follow-up clinic, transport medicine, night call, scholarly activity, and leadership development. Fellows complete approximately 15 clinical blocks, with remaining time dedicated to research and scholarship. Transport of critically ill newborns is a key component, with fellows serving in both medical control and transport leadership roles. Connecticut Childrens fetal care program, led by two fetal surgeons, provides high-acuity experiences. Through a network of 14 NICUs across Connecticut and eastern New York, fellows care for a diverse patient population.
