I understand that Neonatal surgery is an ongoing field. Not very advanced yet, but I'm curious of how I could become one. I'm currently a medical student. I plan on doing general surgery for my residency (usually 5 years), I believe I should do a fellowship with paediatrics after (which is 2 years). I know it's a rocky road to fully guarantee a spot for neonatal surgery, but is it possible?
I like planning ahead and setting multiple options for myself, so this might seem like I'm planning way earlier than I'm suppose to, but I guess I just like being aware. Thank you also in advance for any help!
