#386 - 🟢 HOT TOPICS 2025 COVERAGE - What Inspires First-Year Neonatology Fellows at Hot Topics?

Send us Fan MailThree first-year fellows from University of Virginia—Jamie, Megan, and Brianne—share their Hot Topics conference experience. Despite being early in training, they engage deeply with cutting-edge research across diverse interests: POCUS and hemodynamics (Jamie), ENT non-surgical interventions (Brianne), and neurodevelopmental outcomes with Tiny Baby projects (Megan). They value learning from practice variation across institutions, particularly regarding fluid management and humidity protocols. Rather than finding evidence gaps discouraging, they're inspired by opportunities for future research. They plan to share conference insights through journal club upon returning to UVA. The fellows emphasize how accessible and collaborative neonatology speakers are, encouraging early-career engagement with research leaders.
