The education needed to be a neonatologist is 14 years of training that includes four years of under graduate school. Also four years of medical school, pediatric residency and a neonatology fellowship. Graduates must also become licensed as a medical doctor.

I would like to become a neonatologist because it is taking care of a life. Also it is a life that is starting and it needs the help in order to survive.
