Clinical Training Program

Neonatal/perinatal specialists possess in-depth knowledge of fetal and neonatal physiology and clinical skills to diagnose and manage problems seen in the prenatal, intrapartum, and postnatal periods, including long-term neurodevelopmental follow up.

Moreover, the specialists serve as consultants to pediatricians caring for neonates and obstetricians caring for women with high-risk pregnancies.

This program provides trainees with comprehensive clinical experience. A trainee should acquire the basic knowledge of a neonatologist/perinatologist through training at the Perinatal Center, Hamamatsu University Hospital. As a clinician, he/she must gain competence in the medical care of critically-ill neonates through neonatal experience following general pediatric training. During clinical education, trainees can develop funds of knowledge and acquire important professional skills.

Research Training Program

Training as a researcher enables appreciation of neonatal-perinatal research and appropriate application of scientific advances to clinical practice.
