GOALS & OBJECTIVES | Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Fellowship
The LSU Health Shreveport Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Fellowship Program is established with a primary intention of providing diverse clinical and high-quality educational and research experiences to individual fellows in training to enable them to become academic neonatologists who can further develop the essential field of pediatrics, the neonatal-perinatal medicine. This program is also designed to fulfill the needs of those trainees who anticipate their future activities to be solely the clinical practice as clinicians in this specialty or those who expect to function as clinician-educators. In addition, trainees who intend to pursue careers in the clinical and basic science research track (Physician-Scientist track) will also receive adequate training and education to successfully start their career pathway. The educational and clinical curriculum, and clinical environment, as detailed below, will enable them to become proficient in clinical care and academic activities.
