Department of Pediatrics / Neonatology Fellowship

Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Fellowship

The Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Fellowship Program at the University of Rochester equips pediatricians with the skills, knowledge, and experience they need for a successful and fulfilling career in neonatology. Our fellows are provided with a broad range of opportunities that allow them to personalize their neonatology training to best suit their long-term career goals. Our program has a long and distinguished history of educating neonatologists, many of whom have gone on to become national and international leaders in our field. The Division of Neonatology includes a number of nationally recognized leaders in clinical, educational, quality improvement, and research organizations such as the Organization of Neonatology Program Directors, Vermont Oxford Network, NICHD Neonatal Research Network, and the American Thoracic Society, leading major program development and research projects.

The Neonatology Fellowship is a three-year ACGME-accredited program with 3 fellows per year of training. The program accepts applications through ERAS. Individuals who have completed an ACGME-certified pediatric residency, and who are U.S. citizens, permanent residents, or who hold a J1 (not H1B) visa are considered for fellowship training.

"Training at the University of Rochester is an unparalleled experience for neonatology fellows. The mentorship here for research and clinical training is excellent but what sets Rochester apart is the unwavering support of faculty and staff - they make us feel like valued members of an already exceptional team dedicated to advancing neonatal care."
