The Neonatal-Perinatal Fellowship provides outstanding training in evidence-based care for critically ill newborns.
The Neonatal nurse practitioner and physician assistant program at the University of New Mexico Children's Hospital was established in 1976, with two nurse practitioners in the group. Since then it has grown to as many as 22 in the group. The NNP/PA's are involved in every aspect of neonatal care in the NICU, as well as training and education outside of the unit and on transport.
The NICU at the University of New Mexico is composed of an integrated team of specialists that provide compassionate, evidence-based care for critically ill newborns from around the great state of New Mexico and neighboring states. The state-of-the-art NICU at UNM encompasses 52 beds, with an additional 12 intermediate care nursery beds.
Our Neonatologists and NNP/PA's participate in multiple institutional and national research projects.
