Abstract
Neonatal hemodynamics is an evolving field of newborn medicine focused on providing comprehensive physiological‐based approaches for the assessment and management of cardio‐pulmonary disorders in the critically ill neonate and infant. Training in neonatal hemodynamics requires a structured approach to echocardiography to ensure expertise in assessing cardiovascular function in critically ill neonates. This educational framework outlines a systematic approach to echocardiography laboratory training for Neonatal Hemodynamics trainees with a focus on competency in image acquisition, interpretation, and integration of findings into neonatal physiology. Training emphasizes hands‐on learning, direct supervision, and progressive assessments, with primary exposure to critically ill neonates and select cases in older pediatric patients to broaden diagnostic skills. By incorporating a structured echocardiography laboratory rotation and interdisciplinary collaboration, this framework aims to support the development of expertise in neonatal cardiovascular assessment.
