However, the Syrian neonatology fellowship program remains largely grounded in a traditional, time-based model and faces significant challenges due to the ongoing conflict in Syria. This study aims to identify and prioritize core competencies for Syrian neonatology fellowship curricula to establish a foundation for a standardized national curriculum.MethodsA mixed-methods approach was utilized, incorporating a literature review, focus group discussions, and a modified Delphi technique involving three survey rounds. This process engaged a panel of 135 Syrian healthcare professionals with expertise in neonatal care. Participants evaluated a preliminary list of 120 competencies derived from a literature review and focus group discussions using a 5-point Likert scale. A consensus threshold of 75% agreement was applied to determine the final competency list.ResultsExpert consensus identified 135 competencies, categorized as 38 (28.1%) knowledge, 80 (59.3%) skills, and 17 (12.6%) attitudes. A weighted ranking system determined that 89 (65.9%) of these competencies are essential for successful neonatology fellowship training in Syria. Prioritized competencies emphasized foundational clinical skills, infection control, and teamwork, reflecting the resource limitations and collaborative needs of the Syrian healthcare system.ConclusionThis study establishes a comprehensive set of core competencies for neonatology fellowship training in Syria. These findings provide a framework for developing contemporary, evidence-based curriculum aligned with international standards while adapting to local resource constraints. They represent a crucial step in standardizing neonatology fellowship training and advancing neonatal care in Syria. | |
