What kind of doctor is The Little Couple's Jen Arnold?

Over the last five years, viewers have gotten a chance to live life alongside Jen Arnold and Bill Klein, otherwise known as TLC’s The Little Couple. We were first introduced to the pair in 2009 with a one-hour special that has since snowballed into six successful seasons!

While we get to a see a lot of the couple’s personal life including their move to Texas, challenges starting and raising a family, and coming face-to-face with cancer, we still don’t know too many specifics about their professional lives.

We know Bill is a successful businessman/consultant/sales guy. We also know Jen is a doctor that works with babies. But, what of kind of doctor is she exactly?

Dr. Jennifer Arnold, MD, M.Sc. works as an attending Neonatologist and Medical Director of the Simulation Center at Texas Children’s Hospital, as well as being an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine.

For those of you not familiar with the medical jargon, being a neonatologist means Jen works with sick babies. If a baby is born premature or if a baby is born with serious health issues, they are admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

Once in the NICU, some babies stay a short time, as little as a few hours, while others may be there for months. Jen oversees the care and medical plan for these babies to ensure they can leave the hospital healthy.

It’s easy to see how Jen has become such a kick-butt doctor and medical director. She graduated with undergraduate degrees in Biology and Psychology from the University of Miami in Florida and completed her medical degree at the esteemed Johns Hopkins, in addition to her internship, residency, and fellowship.

According to Vitals.com, “Her patients they rate her 4 out of 4 stars. They point out the time she spends with them. She has won a number of awards, including Top Ten Doctors 2012 and Patients’ Choice Award 2008.” Yay for Dr. Jen!!
