PED 4380 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
This rotation gives you the advanced pathophysiology and emotional complexities of any ICU environment, but adds in the critical skill of newborn resuscitation and stabilization. These skills can be important for Pediatric, Family Practice, and OB-Gyn, but can also be valuable in a deployed or emergency room environment. Generally, ICU experiences are often the most challenging rotations in residency because of the sheer amount of system compromise. Learning to prioritize and organize your approach, presentation, and plan of care in the ACR year can set you on the right path in a learning environment, rather than encounter it on your first day of residency.
