Duties and responsibilities:
A neonatologist is a pediatrician who specializes in treating newborn infants. Physicians refer their patients to a neonatologists for complex and high-risk births. When babies are born prematurely, with a birth detector or with a serious illness, a neonatologist may assist with delivery and attend to the newborn's medical needs. Neonatologists consult with obstetricians if prenatal sonograms suggest the possibility of a birth defect or disease.

Education:
After completing a four-year bachelor of science degree, aspiring neonatologists enter medical school which takes another four years. Students must then complete another three-year residency, where they choose a specialty in pediatrics. They must then complete a fellowship in neonatology for their final years of study.

Reflection: Yes, i think i would like to do this career because i could treat babies that have troubles and save them from losing their lives. Not only that but this is a big responsibility and i feel like i would enjoy my job. Taking care of the baby's health knowing what to do and how to treat the problem is something i would like to know/do. This seems like a really interesting career to do.
