Welcome to the Fellows’ Hall of NICUniversity.org, an online resource designed to complement the education of neonatal and perinatal medicine fellows.
Because recently expanded subspecialty training requirements of the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) have included a more robust research curriculum and the Resident Review Committee (RRC) of the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) updated content requirements in Pediatrics and its subspecialties in 2007, the goal of the NICUniversity.org Fellows’ Hall is to supplement fellowship programs by providing the fellow with an additional source of easily accessible education. At the Fellows’ Hall of NICUniversity.org you will find informative topics presented by prominent faculty, relevant to your field of study and intended to help you meet these more rigorous requirements.
As always, please feel free to send us your suggestions or feedback.
This is your Fellowship, let NICUniversity.org be your learning resource.
