Neonatology seems like it could be really rewarding but also very saddening

Actually, 95% of what happens in the NICU is wonderful and happy news. Imagine you get a sick baby and with your skills and knowledge, you get them better and send them home with the families. You are right, it is an ICU, so sometimes you get some really sick babies that don't make it, but those are fairly rare.

Ekeke sounds nigerian, fellow nigerian doctors repping worldwide! great, insightful video!

Yeah that's what I was thinking!

One of my best friends just retired as the director of a Level 3 NICU. Amazing speciality. She has had such an impact on families lives. Saving our smallest babies. God Bless you all!!

I’ve had the dream of becoming a neonatologist ever since I was 4! I’m a HS senior now, and I’m still sticking to it 🙏🏾 this video motivated me to keep on going!

Thanks for this Dr. Webb, my wife is currently a PGY1 Peds resident at UNLV and is thinking about pursuing a Neo fellowship. I’ll be sharing this vid with her ASAP!

Neonatology sounds amazing. I am quite sure I will end up in some peds specialty. I am thinking of anesthesia/critical care/hem-onc and maybe neonatology now? Really enjoyed this video Dr. Webb. Thanks!

Thank you! I'm in high school in Florida and my dream is to be a Neonatologist. I know its a long road ahead but this is inspiring me to pursue my dream.

Great interview!

Great video Dr. Ekeke. I'm so happy you chose the field of Neonatology. Best thing in the world! (sorry others). Keep up the excellent care of those itty-bitty ones

Thank you for posting this video....it is giving me insight on what this work field is like. Yes I intend on becoming a neonatologist I was premature at birth 1lb 13oz......what can I say its a serious calling I intend on fulfilling.

Great video! Maybe this can become a series but with other specialities?

Can you do a video on how medical students/ doctors can work in school and the field even if they have mental illness/depression?

VERY INSPIRING!

Great video :) I'm a medical student interested in peds and neonatology, so this was very helpful for me!

it’s 8 years in school and then residency for three to seven years

Yea what they said it’s 8 years then you get a feel of it with residency, fellowship you get paid while doing it too.

Wow...she's awesome !

How similar or different is what you do as a neonatologist to what the nurse practitioners do

Do you get any sleep in a 28 HR residency? What exactly do you do during each hour?

What is your thoughts on water fasting

Which one do you have to be an OB/GYN or a pediatrician first then a Neonatologist?

do clinical fellowship in neonatology require research or is it competency based??

Great Video! So do neonatologists perform surgeries or is that only for pediatrics surgeons? Another question, is it possible to complete an neonatology fellowship if you completed a residency in OB/GYN or general surgery?

@antoniowebbmd

Good question. No, Neonatalogist do not perform surgeries. Pediatric surgeons do. And most people do a pediatric residency before Neonatology fellowship

What is the difference between what a neonatologist does and maternal-fetal medicine physician does? Both deal with critical care concerning babies so why are they considered two different specialties?

Hey passionateberry an MFM is dealing with high risk pregnancy concerning the mother and a neonatologist is dealing with critically ill and premature babies.

Heyy if anyone sees this PLEASE RESPOND. I’m actually graduating high school and I’m going into college to complete my undergraduate schooling. Do you guys know of any great medical schools I should look into after undergraduate school ?? Thank you in advance ❣️

Not sure what you mean by “great!” Pretty much all Medical schools will give you good training and teach you what you need to become a doctor. I would choose medical schools based off of cost, feeling like you fit in, and support that you receive/can receive!

Do surgeons have personal offices?

@Jordan makes sense, thanks.

I like Neonatology...but could you get a maternal-fetal medicine specialist interview. I know there’s also another specialty that you go towards from pediatric residency.
