This can be found in the January issue each year of the Journal of Pediatrics.

As an aside, on the front page of SDN the title of your post was abbreviated to "Neonatology or peds". Ouch - I thought this was an either/or kind of statement....we neos can be a bit sensitive to being thought of as "not pediatricians"

Thanks!

And I of course didn't mean it as an either/or statement. I thought putting peds in front of neonatology was redundant since you guys work with babies.

FYI, this is not a complete list. I noticed that cardiology and neonatology are missing a few programs.

This is the list that programs voluntarily submit in the fall for inclusion in the J Pediatr january issue. This is a very long-standing tradition in pediatrics. Some programs may choose to not be listed or may not have approval for their slots and not list them. I am surprised if there are very many missing as this is the list residents usually use to contact fellowship directors. Any hints as to which programs are missing?

I just briefly looked at it and noticed that 2 of the 3 peds cards programs in Illinois are not on the list and one of the several NICU programs in Chicago is not on the list.

To the OP, have you tried FRIEDA at the AMA website? I am not sure how complete or accurate is this website.

hmm, THIC claims to be one of only 2 accredited pedi cards programs in Illinois. Can't say why they didn't choose to be listed in the Jan. 2004 listing - perhaps they didn't have any openings in 2005 for fellows? I don't have the Jan. 2005 J Pediatr listing here but it can be found in any medical library - perhaps they decided to list spots for 2006 but not 2005? Don't know if they're right about being one of only 2 programs that are accredited (presumably Children's Memorial/NW is the other) - your comment seems to imply that there is another somewhere!

In any case, you are right that the J Pediatr listing is not complete and does not include programs that choose not to list themselves for whatever reason.
For most purposes, it should be useful, especially if one goes and gets the current (Jan 2005) edition.

On rare occasion, other specialists and even general pediatricians have been known to question whether neonatology and especially the NICU is another world from "pediatrics." 🙄

I noticed that statement at THIC as well. The other is NW for sure. However, FRIEDA claims that U of C has a program as well. I also read on some other website (I think it was at the ACGME website) that said U of C has a program but they had been subject to some disciplinary action. On the U of C peds wesite, there is no mention of the cardiology fellowship. So I have no idea what the status is of their program. Possibly they lost their accredidation recently.

I did not mean to imply that your source was not useful. I was just commenting on it because the OP said he wanted a complete list, and I noticed that for at least some things, the list may not be complete. I hope I did not offend you OBP, because that was not my intention.

not at all....I actually was quite amazed that there were presumably accredited programs unlisted in J Pediatr.

I finally got my WiFi set up at home so I can sit in a comfortable chair, take calls from the NICU (I'm on call tonight) 😡 and surf the internet - so I may write more than usual here, especially if the nursery is busy! Unfortunately, I have to do this on my Dell PC. Fortunately, my Airport Card is on its way so I can hook up my Titanium 😀 to it by next week....
