I'm a Sophomore in High School right now, but I'm confused as to how to get on track to becoming a Neonatologist. For college, I'm planning to apply to the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill for 4 years, possibly 2 if I can go to Community College for the first 2 years. Can anyone help me figure out what to do?

  1. A Bachelors degree 4 years of something that can be used for pre-med

    4 years of medical school

    3-6 years residency for pediatrician

    3 years fellowship for neonatal


  2. To become a neonatologist, the physician initially receives training as a pediatrician, then completes an additional training called a fellowship (for 3 years in the US) in neonatology. Most, but not all neonatologists are board certified in the specialty of Pediatrics by the American Board of Pediatrics, and in the sub-specialty of Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine also by the American Board of Pediatrics.
