Longitudinal Coaches

  • Associate Professor of Pediatrics (Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine); Medical Director, Yale New Haven Children's Hospital NICU, Pediatrics; Director, NICU Transport Program

    I started my medical career after spending many years as a Child Neurology nurse.  Pediatrics was always my first love but I was thrilled when I discovered the enormous reward in taking care of critically ill newborns in the Neonatal Intensive Care unit.  When I look in an incubator, I see potential for healing even in the sickest children and I am incredibly grateful to be part of a team dedicated to the care of this vulnerable group of children.
  • Professor of Pediatrics (General Pediatrics); Editor, Yale Primary Care Pediatrics Curriculum; Associate Director for Pediatrics, Medical School Clerkship in Biopsychosocial Approach to Health; Medical Student Coach, Medical Education; Medical Director, School Based Health Centers, Pediatrics; Medical Director, Medical-Legal Partnership Project

    After receiving undergraduate and medical school degrees from the University of Michigan and undergoing a categorical pediatric residency at Weill-Cornell/NY Medical Center, Dr. Fenick was in private practice for 6 years. Her practical experience is augmented by national and local work in education and educational scholarship. Dr. Fenick has been the co-editor of the Yale Primary Care Pediatrics Curriculum since its inception, and is now the associate director for Pediatrics in the primary care component of the Biopsychosocial Approach to Health, a third-year medical student core clerkship and a longitudinal medical student coach. She is also honored to serve as Medical Director for YNHH's School Based Health Centers, and as Medical Director for the Medical-Legal Partnership Project at YNHCH.
