About this exam
The American Board of Pediatrics Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Certifying Examination assesses whether eligible physicians have the knowledge expected of a neonatal-perinatal medicine subspecialist. It is intended primarily for pediatricians who have completed, or are completing under applicable ABP requirements, accredited fellowship training and are pursuing subspecialty certification. The exam is not an admission test for fellowship. Its scope reflects the care of newborns and their families, including fetal growth and newborn transition, delivery-room stabilization, respiratory disease, and cardiovascular disorders and hemodynamic support.
Preparation involves connecting clinical knowledge to decisions across the neonatal course, rather than memorizing isolated facts. Review resuscitation, respiratory support, cardiovascular physiology, and other core areas such as nutrition, infection, neurologic conditions, and complications of prematurity. Use the current ABP exam information and content outline to confirm the scope, application requirements, and format for your cycle, since details can change. Timed question practice can help identify weak areas, but explanations and follow-up review are essential; a small amount of online MCQ practice is one way to check understanding.
How to prepare for the Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Certifying Examination
- Start with the current ABP content outline, then build a review plan around major clinical areas: fetal growth and transition, delivery-room stabilization and resuscitation, respiratory disease, cardiovascular disorders, and other core neonatal topics.
- Use timed, exam-style questions in focused blocks. For each missed or uncertain answer, review the clinical reasoning and source material, then revisit similar topics later to check retention.
- Confirm eligibility, application steps, examination format, and any cycle-specific updates through the ABP’s official Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine certification information; avoid relying on dates or requirements from older exam cycles.

What is the format of the Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Certifying Examination?
The ABP provides the official examination format and candidate instructions for each cycle. Check its current exam information for details such as question format, administration, and policies rather than relying on descriptions from prior years.
What subjects should I study for the neonatal-perinatal medicine boards?
Review the ABP content outline and core clinical areas, including fetal growth and newborn transition, delivery-room stabilization and resuscitation, respiratory and cardiovascular disease, and other major aspects of neonatal care. Use practice questions to find gaps, then study the underlying concepts and clinical decisions.
