About the Division of Newborn

Medicine : Tufts Medical

Center's Newborn Medicine program specializes in the care

of premature and critically ill neonates in a family-centered model

of care.

We are the

neonatal-perinatal care specialists for Tufts Medicine, providing

care at Tufts Medical Center in a level III, 40-bed neonatal

intensive care unit, and in the special care nurseries at Lowell

General Hospital and Melrose Wakefield

Hospital.

We supervise and provide

services for our other community-based partners including Signature

Healthcare Brockton Hospital, Lawrence General Hospital, and Holy

Family Hospital.

In our network we

oversee the neonatal-perinatal care of a system that covers

approximately 9,000 deliveries per year, 1,200 intensive or

critical care admissions per year, approximately 250 neonatal

transports, and 200 high-risk neonates in our neonatal follow-up

program.

Our Maternal-Fetal-Medicine (MFM)

program is outstanding with numerous interactions at Tufts and

within the Fetal Care Center at Boston Children’s Hospital. We

perform thousands of prenatal (inpatient / outpatient) consults each

year.

Our division currently includes 23

neonatologists, 3 neonatal hospitalists, and 14 physician

assistants. We work seamlessly with Tufts’ Division of Pediatric

Hospital Medicine to ensure that the neonatal and pediatric care

across our network is exceptional.

Our

division is committed to research and education, continually

seeking to improve neonatal care practices and

outcomes.

Our neonatal-perinatal

medicine fellowship has 8 outstanding fellows. While our

program is sponsored by Boston Children’s Hospital and includes

rotations in their NICU and Cardiac ICU, it is distinct / separate

from their neonatal-perinatal medicine fellowship

program.

We have a robust research

enterprise with multiple federally funded research programs.

Division investigators work collaboratively with research staff in

the NICU, our Woman, Baby & Mother Research Institute

(developed by Dr. Diana Bianchi), and the Tufts Clinical and

Translational Science Institute (CTSI).

The

Tufts CTSI provides significant research support to the entire

Division. Collaborative opportunities exist with MIT, Northeastern

University, and Jackson Laboratories.

mission : Recruit

and oversee a growing team with a commitment to clinical

investigation and medical education.

research within the Division.

the learning environment for medical students at Tufts University

School of Medicine in clinical excellence, professionalism, and

academic activities to enhance their own academic development and

that of the trainees.

other scholarship in local, regional and national
