The Neonatal Surgical Fellowship is one year in duration. Candidates must have completed their adult General Surgery training, or an equivalent amount of training, in their home country.
The Neonatal Fellow is responsible for managing the surgical patients in the NICU in collaboration with the surgical Neonatal Nurse Practitioner, the General and Thoracic Surgery Residents (Fellows) and the Neonatology Team. This includes rounding on the patients each day, identifying problems and developing a daily plan, performing whatever procedures are required, participating in family and multidisciplinary meetings and acting as a liaison between the surgical staff and the neonatal team.

During these calls, the fellow will cover the inpatients on the General Surgery service and consults in the emergency department and the wards, and will also serve as the Trauma Team Leader. The Fellow will do any emergency cases that are performed during these calls.
