University of Florida Neonatal-Perinatal Fellowship Program at Orlando Health Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies

 

Dear Friends,

The division of neonatology at Orlando Health Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies, through a special partnership with the University of Florida, is pleased to offer a three-year fellowship in Neonatal Perinatal Medicine accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). The program is built upon the strengths of Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children, a U.S. News and World Report” Best Children’s Hospital” and leader in pediatric care in Central Florida; and the University of Florida Department of Pediatrics, one of the top programs in the United States for medical education and research. The program is funded in partnership with Mednax, the neonatology services provider for the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Orlando Health Winnie Palmer Hospital.

As part of Orlando Health, Orlando Health Arnold Palmer works alongside Orlando Health Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies. Our primary teaching hospital, Orlando Health Winnie Palmer is a 285-bed hospital that delivers more than 14,000 babies per year. It is home to our 142-bed NICU where we deliver the highest level of neonatal intensive care available in the state of Florida. The Maternal Fetal Medicine Program, Congenital Heart Disease Program, Fetal Surgery Program, as well as extensive subspecialty support, results in the referral of some of the highest risk and most complicated pregnancies, including a wide array of fetal anomalies.

High patient volume and exceptional patient diversity in the NICU, in combination with our dedicated and supportive faculty, form the basis of our fellowship and its collegial educational environment. The program strives to develop Neonatal Perinatal Fellows as clinicians, teachers and researchers capable of transforming the future of neonatal care. We accomplish this by providing fellows with broad educational, clinical and research experiences. The program intentionally maintains a very strong focus on clinical care, while still providing opportunities for research and QI projects in a tertiary care setting.

Thank you for your interest in the University of Florida Department of Pediatrics Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Fellowship Program at Orlando Health Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies.
