Episode Details
Back to Episodes#436 - The ABP Just Proposed a Two-Year Neonatology Fellowship. Now What?
Description
Breaking news from the American Board of Pediatrics: a proposal to move all 15 pediatric subspecialties to a two-year, competency-based training model by July 2028 just dropped, and Ben and Daphna are breaking it down in real time. What does shifting from time-based to EPA-grounded training mean for neonatology fellows? Is two years actually enough? What happens to scholarship, research exposure, and the physician-scientist pipeline? And should neonatology take this reshuffling of the cards as an opportunity to chart its own course entirely? This is essential listening for fellows, program directors, and anyone who cares about the future of our workforce.
