Description:

The goal of our program is to provide the trainee with: a solid foundation in clinical neonatal pediatrics and in the scientific basis of the subspecialty, as well as methodologic skills in clinical investigation. Thus, the program attempts to provide the prerequisites for the trainee's continuing contribution as a clinical subspecialist, teacher and scientist.

The Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Program is designed to meet the needs of a variety of individuals. For those committed to a career in academic neonatology, we offer a 2 year program that combines clinical and research training. This program is accredited by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and satisfies the requirements for subspecialty training in neonatal-perinatal medicine of the American Board of Pediatrics. The Program is also suitable for individuals who wish to complete 1 or 2 years of neonatal training prior to general pediatric/Level II nursery practice or for those with previous neonatal training in other centres who wish to broaden their experience. The Program is flexible to meet individual objectives. There is an emphasis on evidence based medicine in clinical practice, teaching, and research. Through our Program's strong links with the Department of Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics that has an international reputation, formal training in Health Research Methodology is facilitated and encouraged for all trainees.
