The program of Residency in Neonatology responds to a need, that has been widely recognized since the 1930s, to train specialists in caring for newborns. The program is fully justified if we understand its contribution to reaching the healthcare goals of the World Summit for Children: reducing by one third the mortality rate for children under one-year old; giving access to all pregnant women to specialized attention for their newborns; and reducing the rate of newborn underweight to below 10%. The profile of the graduate from Medical Neonatology is built by incorporating activities that develop the use of the scientific method, promote medicine based on evidence, and develop in the participant a culture of research. Research topics structure these skills and knowledge, as well as those in education, medical ethics and quality, which are the tools, together with other ones, that strengthen participants? attitudes and values. The program also includes a structured component of internationalization, focused on ensuring that participating doctors get to know models of medical attention in other countries, perceive the differences in process that result from diverse socio-cultural contexts, and, not only know about these differences, but are able to understand them and take advantage of them for the benefit of the patient. The program also includes a seminar on the Doctor-Patient-Family relationship in order to prepare participants to be positive agents in the context of their area of specialty. Thus, the curriculum extends over three years, in order to cover the required areas, as well as assure theoretical, technological and practical knowledge in Neonatology, with a particular focus on Basic, Clinical and Applied Research for the comprehensive training of Neonatologists with highly developed research skills.
The aim of the Residency in Neonatology of Tecnológico de Monterrey is to train exceptional Neonatologists who are experts in the healthcare of newborns, meeting the highest standards of quality and patient safety, in public and private healthcare institutions. It also seeks to prepare individuals with integrity and a humanistic outlook in their clinical, teaching and research practice, while strictly adhering to ethical principles and the standards of professional practice. Neonatologists who graduate from this institution are outstanding leaders able to execute superior work in national and international settings. They are committed to the development and transformation of their communities through programs and actions to enhance the healthcare of newborns. They are creative and innovative, contributing to the generation and practice of clinical research that impacts the health of newborns.
