Dennis Davidson, MD
Thank you for your interest in the fellowship program in the Division of Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine at Schneider Children's Hospital (SCH). The fully accredited fellowship program of Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine is located at two New York State designated regional perinatal centers, SCH at Long Island Jewish Medical Center and SCH at North Shore University Hospital (5 minutes apart by car). We have 12,000 inborn patients at the two major centers and 27,000 deliveries in the hospital system (1/10 of NYS deliveries). We are cutting edge with ECMO, high-tech respiratory support, selective brain-cooling methodology, and extensive cardiology and cardiovascular surgical services. By contrast, we are also family-oriented NICUs. We are located on the eastern border of New York City, making it a highly attractive location for family, recreation and culture. Our mission is to provide compassionate, outstanding care, combined with teaching and cutting-edge research. The NICUs have 44 and 52 beds. There are 11 neonatologists, 11 fellows, 1 pediatric nurse practitioner, 3 neonatal nurse practitioners, 4 clinical nurse specialists, and 2 research scientists. There are 9 maternal-fetal medicine specialists. Fellow night call is in-house. The neonatology division has outstanding marks for teaching. All fellows finish either a clinical or basic research project mentored by one of the neonatal attendings or our research scientists. Areas of research interest include the molecular biology of inflammation in BPD, inhaled nitric oxide, developmental cardiology, neonatal respiratory mechanics, and neonatal nutrition. We believe in evidence-based medicine and are participating in major clinical trials. Applicants are strongly encouraged to apply early. Interviews are usually given in early spring for the following year. We wish you success in your endeavors.
