A Note from Program Leadership
The Neonatal Physician Assistant Residency Program at the University of Kentucky is a 12-month, intensive postgraduate training experience designed to prepare physician assistants for excellence in neonatal critical care.
Our program combines high-acuity clinical immersion in a Level IV NICU with a structured, case-based didactic curriculum and dedicated faculty mentorship. Residents gain hands-on experience managing complex neonatal conditions while developing strong procedural skills, clinical judgment, and confidence in independent decision-making.
Through collaborative multidisciplinary practice, simulation training, and evidence-based education, we prepare graduates to provide compassionate, high-quality care to newborns and their families.
We are proud to train the next generation of neonatal PAs and look forward to welcoming future leaders in neonatal medicine.
