 I'm Dr. Judy Aschner, and as Chair of Pediatrics and Physician-in-Chief, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the Joseph M. Sanzari Children's Hospital at Hackensack University Medical Center. We are a full-service children's hospital with more than 25 medical and surgical pediatrics of specialties represented among our outstanding faculty. Our neonatology training program is actually one with a strong history of training fellows. In the past, we were part of a joint program with another academic institution, but we are now delighted to be sponsoring our own ACGME accredited fellowship program in neonatal perinatal medicine. I've been here at the Joseph M. Sanzari Children's Hospital for the past eight years. I previously was actually a resident here from 2006 to 2009, and I decided to come back and join the children's hospital after I completed my fellowship training because of the amazing and excellent educational experience that I had here. Our program is really a hidden gem. We are located in Bergen County, which is in the northern part of the state, and we draw from a very wide and diverse patient population where we have all of the subspecialty support, including pediatric surgery, cardiology, genetics, and metabolic services. We have a really experienced and enthusiastic faculty. They're here because they love to teach, and they love to do research, so they're very academic. The faculty here have a long history of training neonatal fellows, all of whom have gone on to have their choice of careers, both in academia and in the private sector. Being a fellow in our NICU, you're going to be very busy. We have a very large delivery service with over 5,500 deliveries a year. You'll get excellent training in neonatal resuscitation and caring for very tiny premature babies. Our fellows will have a multitude of research opportunities ranging from clinical science, QI science, and basic science. We have a wide variety for them to choose from. Our faculty are interested in anything ranging from antibiotic stewardship to bronchopulmonary dysplasia, pulmonary hypertension, to neonatal immunology, and we are a member of Vermont Oxford Network, and we have been for the past 20 years, and we really pride ourselves on our excellent work in QI science. We will be able to craft a curriculum and a training program that meets the needs of individual fellows with the faculty that's completely committed to growing their knowledge base and preparing them for the career that they want in the future. Our fellows will be exposed to a multitude of educational opportunities. Being a regional perinatal center, we have a very strong fetal care center. We have a high-risk follow-up program that follows all of our high-risk neonates up until three years of age. I can say with confidence that this training program will be second to none, will be focused on the individual needs of fellows and will provide an outstanding education for those seeking to become both academic and private neonatologists.
