Our highly specialized team is comprised of a group of neonatologists who collectively share dozens of years of advanced training spanning from dedicated cardiac intensive care and cardiology to neonatal intensive care/hemodynamics and targeted neonatal echocardiography, making our program one of the most diverse, advanced neonatal cardiac training programs in the world.

We leverage our team’s diverse training to deliver a flexible, customizable clinical curriculum that includes neonatal cardiac intensive care, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), neonatal hemodynamics, and bedside functional echocardiography—supporting advanced decision-making in the management of critically ill neonates in our Level IV NICU.
