DIVISIONAL OVERVIEW
The Division of Neonatology welcomes Dr. Simone Vaz to
the faculty at Mount Sinai Hospital and Dr. Eugene Ng as a
full-time faculty member at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre
and Dr. Shoo Lee, who was appointed Chief of the Department
of Newborn and Developmental Paediatrics at Sunnybrook
Health Sciences Centre.
The Division of Neonatology wishes to thank Dr. Rosemary
Moodie, Dr. Shaheen Doctor and Dr. Maggie Shu for their
service and significant contributions and they deserve our
enormous thanks and best wishes.
The three level III NICUs at The Hospital for Sick Children,
Mount Sinai Hospital and Women’s College Hospital site
continue to suffer from a shortage of sufficient level III NICU
beds to adequately meet the maternal and neonatal needs
of our catchment area, which has continued to result in
regrettable deferrals of patients out of region, province
and country. The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care
commissioned a Neonatology Task Force, with province-wide
representation including representatives from the three Toronto
NICUs, to address the issue of current level III NICU bed
requirements across the province, and the predicted increase
in requirements over the next 10–15 years. This was delivered
in 2007. The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care responded
by announcing 28 additional neonatal beds for the province,
including three additional NICU beds for Mount Sinai and three
for SickKids. All six additional beds have been opened.
Mount Sinai Hospital was awarded the Ontario Human Milk
Bank, and will be establishing it in partnership with SickKids
and Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre. The Milk Bank will
be led by Dr. Sharon Unger. It will be the first in Ontario and
one of only two in Canada.
The integrated University of Toronto Neonatal Follow-Up
Program was established under the leadership of Dr. Elizabeth
Asztalos. The program will integrate the neonatal follow-up
programs at the three NICUs (Mount Sinai, SickKids,
Sunnybrook). Dr. Edmond Kelly (Mount Sinai), Dr. Linh Ly
(SickKids) and Dr. Paige Church (Sunnybrook) were appointed
Directors of the Neonatal Follow-Up Clinics at their respective
hospitals. A common neonatal follow-up protocol will be
adopted at all follow-up clinics. New clinics will be established
at SickKids and Mount Sinai to replace the joint follow-up
clinic at SickKids.
The Division’s Neonatal-Perinatal Fellowship Training Program
continues to train the largest number of subspecialty trainees
in neonatology of any centre in Canada, under the leadership
of Program Director, Dr. Martin Skidmore.
The Division established the new Clinician-Scientist Scholar
Training Program under the leadership of Dr. Robert Jankov. The
program is designed for neonatal fellows who have completed
the Royal College-required training program in neonatal
perinatal medicine and are interested in pursuing further
research training to establish a career in research. The
inaugural candidate in the program is Dr. Constance Williams.
The Maternal-Infant Care (MICare) Research Centre was
established at Mount Sinai Hospital. The centre coordinates
several national and international research networks and will
also provide research support to members of the Division,
including research nurses and coordinator support, statistical
and methodologic consultations, database establishment and
maintenance, computer programming and other support.
The Division continues to be well supported by major funding
agencies for its various foci at the three sites, including lung
biology, epidemiology, outcomes-based research and clinical trials.
This year we had 112 publications, and received grant funding
of $126,992,072. This represents increase of 31% and 54.8%
respectively compared to previous year.
