Noa Fleiss, MD, MPH
Biography
Noa Fleiss, MD, specializes in neonatal-perinatal medicine, focusing on noninvasive respiratory care, infection prevention, and maternal mental health in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
“I appreciate the transformative and fascinating journey of newborns from the in-utero environment to the external world. I have a deep passion for helping those vulnerable infants who struggle with this transition,” Dr. Fleiss says. “Working closely with parents to ensure their newborns receive the best possible care is deeply rewarding. I enjoy supporting the health of the infant but also providing comfort and support to the parents during a critical time. As a former NICU mother, there is no greater joy than walking out those doors with your baby. This is what motivates me and fuels my passion for this wonderful specialty.
Dr. Fleiss is an assistant professor of pediatrics at Yale School of Medicine, where she acts as the director of quality improvement for the neonatal-perinatal medicine division. She also co-directs the quality improvement curriculum for trainees and mentors those interested in quality improvement projects. Her clinical research centers on neonatal infectious diseases, with a particular emphasis on diagnosing, prevention, and management of neonatal sepsis.
“Participating in quality improvement research allows me to witness real-time improvements in neonatal outcomes directly attributed to the implementation of evidence-based best practices. This immediate feedback and tangible impact on patient health are incredibly fulfilling,” she says. “I also find immense value in imparting knowledge to the next generation of health-care professionals. Teaching trainees how to conduct rigorous and robust research equips them with the necessary skills to carry forward the torch of excellence in neonatal care.”
Dr. Fleiss received her medical degree from Tufts University School of Medicine. She completed her pediatric residency and neonatology fellowship at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University.
