Neonatology fellowship training in research pertaining to development and follow-up.
The methodology of the study of the short- and long-term outcomes has changed over the 30-40 years since the indroduction of neonatal intensive care. The training of neonatal fellows in research pertaining to development and follow-up currently needs to include study of epidemiology and biostatistics, knowledge concerning normal and abnormal growth and development throughout the life span and clinical skills and/or knowledge concerning the assessment of neurologic and developmental outcomes.
