Mayo Clinic Hospital, Saint Mary's Campus

The 39 bed level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Mayo Clinic Hospital, Saint Mary's Campus is the site where fellows care for the most complex neonates. Fellows spend the majority of their clinical training in this unit rotating between two service teams. Supervised by a member of the neonatal medicine faculty, each fellow gradually gains expertise and autonomy in the assessment and management of newborns with various medical and surgical conditions, including those with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia, critical congenital heart disease, intestinal failure, and fetal kidney failure. Senior fellows also grow in skills related to teleneonatology, remote resuscitation, and neonatal transport medicine. In-house call occurs at this site, with each fellow working in-house one night a week on average. Tour our new state of the art NICU.
