Program Aims

What makes our program different from other Neonatal-Perinatal training fellowships?  We believe our program aims will help you understand our program’s culture and what we hope to achieve over your training period at West Virginia University. 

  • Educate fellows to be excellent clinical neonatologists, who can care for critically ill neonates in any hospital setting and who can assess and appropriately incorporate new research into their practice.
  • Provide fellows with opportunities and resources to become excellent teachers at the bedside, in the simulation lab, and in the classroom.
  • Prepare fellows to plan a clinical research or quality improvement project and lead a multidisciplinary team in these efforts.
  • Help fellows adapt to the needs of underserved communities unique to Appalachia and become expert facilitators of transitions across healthcare settings.
  • Build fellows’ resilience, time-management skills, and recognition of the need for a lifelong strategy for personal wellness to have personal and professional success.
