What would it mean for your NICU if the next generation of fellows had only 4 to 8 weeks of NICU exposure before starting fellowship?
That is the reality today. And now the ABP is proposing to shorten neonatology fellowship from three years to two. ONTPD leaders Dr. Patrick Myers, Dr. Heather French, and Dr. Melissa Scala ran the numbers and found that meeting the new clinical hour requirements would mean asking fellows to work at roughly double what is currently recommended for ICU physicians, while eliminating the scholarly activity requirement entirely.
You cannot manufacture a 22 weeker. You cannot schedule an ECMO run.
The program directors who train the people standing next to you in your NICU are asking for one thing right now: a seat at the table before these changes go through. This episode lays out exactly what is at stake, what the data shows, and what the community is proposing instead. If you care about who is taking care of your patients in five years, this conversation is for you.

@Anoo_Jain@LeedsNeoEd@NICU_Musings 2.5mg/kg/dose. It usually acts within 30 seconds after the nurses flush it. We use it for both INSURE and definitive intubation. Babies usually start waking up after about 3-4 minutes. Some take longer than others but I’ve not had many needing to stay vented for a long time.
@LeedsNeoEd@Anoo_Jain@NICU_Musings Same here in Hawaii! Fast on fast off. We’ve used it for the last 10 years. No significant adverse effects. Very rarely hypotension. But usually resolves after a few minutes.
@nicupodcast Definitely in military NICUs. All military NICUs are level 2-3.I feel like the improved outcomes in the lower acuity centers could be related to better nursing to patient ratios, more time on rounds to dedicate to each babies unique pathophysiology etc. Just a thought.
