Abstract
- Little is known about why neonatology fellows pick the fellowship program they do. Understanding why fellows choose neonatology and rank their programs would be of benefit to program leadership and to other applicants. This was a survey study sent to current neonatology fellows in the United States between September 2020 and October 2020, and were asked to rank their choices on a Likert scale. Respondents were also able to give free text responses to open-ended questions. The most important factor fellows state for choosing their program was location, with multiple reasons given. There were significant differences in how certain subgroups ranked programs. Location of the fellowship program is the most important factor for fellows. There are differences within subgroups of fellows on how they rank their fellowship program. Fellowship directors can use this information to better inform selections on who to interview and how to rank fellows.· Patient population appears to be the most important reason why fellows choose neonatology.. · Program location is the most important reason why fellows choose their specific training program.. · Fellowships can continue to highlight fellow camaraderie, scholarship, and clinical opportunities..
