Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Fellows

Dear Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Fellow:

Welcome to the Fellow's page on the Organization of Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Training Program Directors' (ONTPD) Web site. This site was created to serve as a home for the exchange of ideas among NPM fellows, program directors and others interested in Neonatology training. We hope this site will prove useful to you as a NPM trainee and serve as a forum for discussion, problem solving and sharing of ideas about fellowship training. We also hope this site will stimulate and provide an infrastructure for the organization of neonatology fellows and the election of a representative to serve as a liaison member to the Section on Perinatal Pediatrics. Please note that we are still in the early phases of development and changes are frequently being made to this Web site. We urge you to visit often and we welcome your suggestions for improving this site as well as your input into ways that the ONTPD can enhance the value and experience of neonatology fellowship training.

Joe Neu, MD
ONTPD Chair on behalf of the ONTPD Council
