Neonatalogists:
A subspecialty certification by the Board of Pediatrics. Newborn doctors treat or provide consultation on high-risk newborn infants, such as those born prematurely.

Advanced knowledge of newborn adaptation is necessary to ensure a continuum of excellence in care from the fetal to newborn periods.
