Neonatology Fellowship Research
The primary goal of the research component of the fellowship program is high quality, in-depth scholarly activity that lays the foundation for a career in academic medicine. Fellows have the freedom to pursue rigorous research in any field along the full range of scholarship and in accordance with American Board of Pediatrics requirements. A few examples of our fellows’ scholarly projects include: basic science investigations related to pulmonary hypertension, translational research on neonatal urinary tract infections, clinical research on perinatal stroke, medical education research in delivery room resuscitation, quality improvement research on the “Golden Hour” of neonatal resuscitation and clinical/education research on counseling at periviability.
Our fellows benefit from mentorship and funding resources provided by the Abigail Wexner Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and Graduate Medical Education. We have expert, nationally funded mentors both within our division and across our institutions to support our fellows in their scholarly work. Our fellows all present at multiple national and regional research conferences such as the annual meetings of the Pediatric Academic Societies, American Academy of Pediatrics, Midwest Society for Pediatric Research, and many other specialty-specific conferences. Many of our fellows choose to pursue advanced degrees such as the Master of Applied Clinical and Preclinical Research and Master of Bioethics and have been successful in competing for funding to cover the associated expenses.
