PEDI G830 - Newborn Nursery
Credits: 4
This rotation provides your best opportunity to learn about comprehensive care of the newborn. Our average daily census on the Pediatric Teaching Service is 23 babies; we care for newborns at or above 35 weeks’ completed gestational age. Each month, common diagnoses in our newborn population typically include heart murmurs, drug exposure, ABO incompatibility, jaundice, minor birth defects, tachypnea, and high-risk social situations. Every couple of months we also see clavicle fractures, Erb’s palsy, Down syndrome, developmental hip dysplasia, cleft palate, hypospadias, and other less common newborn physical findings. Students will learn to perform routine circumcision during this rotation and are expected to be proficient by rotation end.
