McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University Program
About This Program
The goal of the Northwestern Fellowship is to train fellows for careers in academic neonatology while emphasizing the balance between excellent patient care, teaching, research and collegiality. Fellows rotate through the Prentice Women's Hospital (approximately 12,000 deliveries) and Lurie Children's Hospital (approximately 650 level IV patients). The fellowship supports a wide range of research projects from understanding non-birthing parents, to basic science to interrogation of large data.
