Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital’s Neonatal-Perinatal (NPM) Fellowship Program, a three-year, ACGME accredited program (National Resident Matching Program Fall match), offers a dynamic learning experience, within an innovative, collaborative and learner-centric environment.

Innovative Learning Environment

The Mission of the NPM fellowship program is to train the next generation of leaders in Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine, within an innovative, collaborative, personalized and learner-centric environment. Fellows will develop superior skills in delivering family-engaged patient care through a systems-based model, advocating for safety, quality and value-based care, and in advancing scientific research and investigation.

A dedicated Center for Medical Simulation and Innovative Education laboratory within the NICU is equipped with the most advanced technology available for simulation-based learning. Dedicated and specially trained simulation laboratory staff assist core teaching faculty with a wide spectrum of learning scenarios.

A personalized academic structure will allow the fellow to advance individual learning objectives and develop expertise in a specialized area of interest, facilitated by the institute’s patient-centered, cohort-based continuum of patient care model, beginning at delivery in Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital Center for Women and Babies, continuing through the hospital course in the 97-bed Level IV NICU, and extending through the Neonatal Follow-Up Clinic and Neonatal Medical Home.

Maternal, Fetal & Neonatal Institute (MFNI)

The Johns Hopkins All Children’s Maternal, Fetal & Neonatal Institute seeks to improve outcomes for newborns through collaborative approaches to value-based care, beginning with the high-risk expectant mother, continuing through delivery and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission, and extending beyond discharge through patient-centered cohort-based neonatal follow-up.

Meet the Faculty

The institute works closely with Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital Center for Women and Babies, located within Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital, which averages 4,200 deliveries per year and is a state-approved Level III Regional Perinatal Intensive Care Center. The maternal-fetal specialists are Johns Hopkins All Children’s faculty, and their referrals originate from a large geographical area extending beyond the west coast of Florida to a growing number of national and international locations. At the Fetal Care Program complex congenital anomalies and maternal complications are managed by a multidisciplinary team, including maternal-fetal medicine specialists, neonatologists, geneticists, cardiologists, surgeons and other diverse specialists, working together to offer a continuum of care that meets the needs of patients and families.

The institute’s mission is to disseminate clinical excellence, innovate through research and train the next generation of physicians to continue improving the short-and long-term health outcomes and needs of medically complex newborns. The MFNI provides neonatal and high-risk obstetrical clinical care at a number of community hospitals within the west coast of Florida.

The institute collaborates in clinical care, advocacy and research with Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital’s Heart Institute, Institute for Brain Protection Sciences and Cancer & Blood Disorders Institute, along with a full-spectrum of pediatric medicine subspecialty divisions. Here are some of the specialized programs:

• Intestinal Rehabilitation Program
• NICU Tracheostomy Team
• Neonatal Follow Up Program
• Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) Clinic
• Center for Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
• Esophageal and Airway Treatment (EAT) Program
• Pediatric Pulmonary Hypertension Program
