Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Fellowship

Ascension Seton Medical Center Austin is home to a 43-bed, Level III neonatal intensive care unit and is the main site for fellows to gain experience with a primarily inborn neonatal population. Training here focuses on antenatal consultation, high-risk delivery coordination, delivery room management, “golden hour” care and the ongoing care of micropreemies.

Dell Children’s is home to a 56-bed, Level IV neonatal intensive care unit that provides inpatient care for infants transferred for cardiac, general surgical and other subspecialty care. The program’s Comprehensive Fetal Care Center and Special Delivery Unit serves families with complex congenital anomalies seeking interventional procedures or coordination of multispecialty care.

Training here focuses on management of complex patients with multiorgan and surgical diseases processes, multidisciplinary collaboration with numerous subspecialty teams for infants with prolonged hospital stay and high-level care coordination.

Opening in 2026, the new Women’s Health Tower will expand access to comprehensive health services in Central Texas with advanced clinical services for women’s health, increased patient capacity, high-quality, optimized multidisciplinary care, and academic programs and subspecialty expertise.

The tower will feature patient-centered design with state-of-the-art technology, 84 NICU beds including 10 twin rooms, 26 labor rooms, six obstetric operating rooms with two adjacent tiny baby resuscitation suites and plentiful work and conference space. There will be capacity for approximately 8,500 deliveries and growth for other women’s health services.
