Founders
Scott Snyder, MD, FAAP
Scott has served as the System Medical Director for St. Luke’s Neonatology, covering the 4 NICUs across St. Luke’s Health System, since 2007.
As a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, he has served in various leadership positions within the AAP. He has taught several workshops and career panels to assist fellows and other neonatologists with their career searches, and this experience ultimately led to the establishment of Neonatology Solutions, LLC.
His other passions include clinical standardization within the NICU to reduce irrational variation and to simplify the lives of busy NICU providers and staff.
Believing that parents are the most important part of the Neonatal Care Team, Scott also strives to provide ways to make the NICU journey more understandable and less stressful for families.
Celinda Snyder, MSN, MBA
Celinda began her nursing career at the University of Texas at Austin and spent time as a pediatric nurse and procedural conscious sedation nurse at the Children’s Hospital of New Mexico prior to leaving the bedside.
After moving to Idaho she worked as a Performance Improvement Specialist and Director of Nursing Services while simultaneously pursuing both her Master of Business Administration and Master of Science in Nursing.
In 2009, she joined the emerging startup company Whitecloud Analytics, focused on healthcare analytics and clinical process improvement, where she served as Vice President of Client Engagements. Following a successful acquisition and exit of the company in 2017, Celinda continued for 2 years with Relias, Inc., prior to departing in order to co-found Neonatology Solutions, LLC.

Dr. Ulrich is a neonatologist with St. Luke’s Neonatology, practicing primarily at the St. Luke’s Magic Valley location in Twin Falls, Idaho. He also provides regular coverage at the NICU at St. Luke’s Children’s Hospital in Boise, Idaho. Tim completed pediatric residency at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, followed by neonatology fellowship at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, MO which he completed in 2017.
He is providing Neonatology Solutions with a view through the lens of “what I know now that I would have liked to have known then” to help fellows learn the questions that they might not think to ask.
Yukiko Miura, MD, FAAP
Dr. Miura, “Kiko,” is a practicing neonatologist with St. Luke’s Neonatology at St. Luke’s Children’s Hospital in Boise, Idaho. Kiko completed pediatric residency at Winthrop University Hospital in Mineola, NY, followed by neonatology fellowship at the University of Rochester Medical Center which she completed in 2018.
The perspective she provides with now having several years under her belt since completing fellowship is greatly appreciated.
Namrita Jain Odackal, MD, FAAP
Dr. Odackal completed her pediatric residency at Westchester Medical Center, Valhalla, NY. She joined the Advisory Panel in 2019 just after completion of fellowship at University of Virginia and landing her first neonatology position at St. Vincent Hospital in Billings, MT. Dr. Odackal is an artist and has an interest in medical illustration and visual education within neonatology, both for parents and trainees. She is presently in practice with Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.
Namrita believes fellows will greatly benefit from the resources made available at Neonatology Solutions, and we are grateful for her fresh first-hand insight of surviving the search.
Matthew Douglass, DO
Dr. Douglass joined the Panel during his third year of Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Fellowship at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. His clinical and research interests include pulmonary hypertension and chronic lung disease. As a former mechanical engineer, he also has an interest in collaborative relationships between physicians and engineers to solve NICU related clinical and research challenges. He has continued his research and practice as an attending with the U of UT.
As a third year fellow actively engaged in the job hunt, Matt was able to give real-time perspective to Neonatology Solutions on what tools and resources are the most value-added for fellows at this exciting stage of their careers: landing the “real job.”
Jasmeet Kataria-Hale, MD
Dr. Kataria-Hale also joined the Panel while completing her third year of Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Fellowship at Texas Children’s Hospital, Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas.

As a fellow in pursuit of an easily accessible hub for all things related to her career search, Jasmeet contributed greatly. Being in a dual-physician family posed unique challenges with job search timing. With her input, Neonatology Solutions has become an invaluable resource and adjunct to help guide fellows through their career path starting from the first day of fellowship.
