The University of New Mexico Division of Neonatology offers a fellowship program for those interested in pursuing an academic career in Perinatal-Neonatal medicine. The Program requires a three year commitment consisting of an active clinical service and providing considerable opportunity for bench research or clinical research. The basic philosophy of the program is that the fellowship is primarily an educational and research experience. Fellows are expected to participate in the following:
