Level II Special Care Nursery Fellowship Training Program
The Perinatal Institute at Cincinnati Children's is currently seeking Pediatricians to join our Level II Special Care Nursery Fellowship Training Program to focus on learning the skills necessary to independently practice in a Level II Special Care Nursery. Many pediatricians complete their pediatric residency program with as little as two months of Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) experience. With limited NICU experience during their pediatric residency, many graduates are not prepared to independently practice in a Level II Special Care Nursery upon graduation and often require further training.
We recognized this training gap and in response created our 9-18 month Level II Special Care Nursery Fellowship Program. This non-ACGME accredited fellowship program is administered through the GME office at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.
The goal of the program is to ensure that all fellows graduate with the education, skills, and experience needed to independently practice in a Level II Special Care Nursery. This includes both the management of a wide breadth of neonatal diseases and physiology present in moderately preterm and term infants after birth as well as the initial resuscitation and stabilization of an extremely preterm or critically ill infant prior to transport to a higher level of care. On a monthly basis, trainees spend one week in each of the following clinical areas: Level I Nursery rotations, Level II Special Care Nursery rotations, Level III NICU rotations, and supplemental learning.
Trainees are hired and compensated as Staff Physicians – Level 1 Newborn Physician. Upon successful completion of this program, trainees transition to the Staff Physician – Level 2 Special Care Nursery Physician role and compensation structure.
