About ONTPC:
The ONTPC was formed in June of 2020 and has grown from 55 members to almost 80. The mission of the Organization of Neonatal-Perinatal Training Program Coordinators is to collaborate nationally with all Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Program Coordinators to enhance and increase knowledge of Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine subspecialty fellowship training programs. We have quarterly general body meetings where we discuss best practices and what’s happening in our fellowships. We also offer monthly virtual happy hours for the coordinators to get together and chat, which have been well attended and appreciated.
The ONTPC has four subcommittees; newsletter, wellness, professional development, and mentorship, that are open for any member to join.
Lastly, the ONTPC has an active private Facebook page, which you can join by clicking the link below and answering a couple of questions. https://www.facebook.com/groups/ontpc
